El grupo de expertos independientes sobre el asesinato de la activista ambiental Berta Cáceres hace una década presentó su informe y sus recomendaciones al Estado hondureño en una sesión de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Los expertos piden a Honduras investigar posibles complicidades de funcionarios públicos en el crimen, pero el nuevo gobierno puso en duda la imparcialidad del grupo de expertos. Tras seis meses de investigaciones en Honduras, el grupo de expertos independientes (GIEI) sobre el asesinato de la activista Berta Caceres llegó a la conclusión de que el crimen fue previsible y evitable. Según los expertos, se trató de una operación planificada con la participación de sicarios y personal de la empresa hidroeléctrica DESA, y con la tolerancia de funcionarios. Los expertos evidenciaron también el desvío de fondos de un banco de desarrollo holandés, destinados a financiar el proyecto hidroeléctrico Agua Zarca al que se oponía Berta Caceres con la comunidad indígena lenca. Fondos desviados para pagar a los sicarios que acabaron con la vida de la activista.  Roxana Altholz, una de las expertas, expuso como el Estado hondureño ignoró deliberadamente las interceptaciones telefónicas de los responsables del crimen: “En esas conversaciones se utilizaban expresiones como ‘gatillero', ‘por 40 lo haría' o ‘la decisión depende de allá arriba'. Incluso se hacía referencia a contactos dentro de estructuras de inteligencia. Sin embargo, a pesar de contar con esta información, no se adoptó ninguna medida para impedir o desarticular la operación que finalmente terminó con el asesinato de Berta Cáceres”. “La reparación exige medidas estructurales” Aunque ya hay ocho condenados por este crimen, los expertos recomiendan al Estado hondureño profundizar las investigaciones sobre el rol de la familia Atala, accionista de la empresa implicada en el asesinato, así como reparar a la comunidad lenca. “La reparación exige medidas estructurales, incluyendo la revocación total y definitiva de la concesión del proyecto Agua Zarca que sigue vigente, la titulación colectiva de las tierras de las comunidades lencas afectadas”, expresó Roxana Altholz. El representante del nuevo gobierno hondureño de derecha, el procurador José Francisco Quiroz, recibió sin embargo estas recomendaciones con escepticismo, y cuestionó la legalidad del convenio firmado por el gobierno anterior que autorizó el trabajo de los expertos. “En el marco de la búsqueda de la justicia, no resulta viable convalidar un instrumento que no ha sido sometido al examen del Congreso Nacional”, afirmó. Si bien las recomendaciones de los expertos no son vinculantes, el Estado hondureño sí debe cumplir con sus obligaciones en materia de derechos humanos, recordó la relatora de la ONU Andrea Pochak, claramente molesta por la declaración del procurador hondureño quien puso en duda también la imparcialidad de uno de los expertos del GIEI.

Trois jours après le déclenchement de l'opération « Fureur épique », l'administration Trump est toujours très attendue sur les justifications des frappes contre l'Iran. Les journaux s'interrogent sur les objectifs de Donald Trump en Iran. Car ceux-ci semblent changer de jour en jour. Il a d'abord été question d'éliminer la menace nucléaire iranienne, puis de faire tomber le régime des mollahs. Mais, cette idée semble désormais être abandonnée. Alors le Globe and Mail au Canada se pose la question : Donald Trump veut-il un changement de régime ou simplement « tondre le gazon », c'est-à-dire affaiblir l'adversaire ? Le quotidien prévient : « Tout comme l'herbe, la puissance militaire peut repousser. Tout comme l'herbe, il faudra peut-être la tondre à nouveau dans quelques mois ou quelques années ». Pour Politico, en tout cas, un scénario à la vénézuélienne, c'est-à-dire décapiter le régime pour laisser s'installer un pouvoir plus coopératif, est difficilement envisageable. L'Iran n'est pas le Venezuela, avertit Politico. Il ne s'agit pas d'un pouvoir mafieux en place depuis un quart de siècle, mais d'une théocratie installée depuis cinq décennies. Et contrairement au Venezuela, et bien que Donald Trump ait affirmé le contraire dimanche (1er mars 2026), son administration n'a identifié aucun successeur à l'ayatollah Khamenei.   Un pari à hauts risques La presse se penche également sur les conséquences politiques de ce conflit pour Donald Trump. C'est le cas du New York Times, pour qui le locataire de la Maison Blanche joue là son propre avenir politique, mais aussi celui de son parti. Car même si sa base semble le soutenir pour l'instant, certains de ses alliés disent craindre en privé que les coûts de cette guerre soient plus élevés que les gains. Cela, relève le New York Times, risque de placer les candidats républicains aux élections de mi-mandat dans une position délicate si le conflit tourne mal ou si l'Iran sombre dans le chaos. Devront-ils continuer à soutenir leur chef ou, au contraire, prendre leurs distances ? Aux États-Unis, toujours, le couple Clinton a été entendu vendredi (27 février 2026) à huis-clos, et sous serment, par une commission de la Chambre des représentants sur ses liens avec le milliardaire pédocriminel. Les vidéos de ces auditions ont été rendues publiques hier (2 mars). Deux vidéos de chacune un peu plus de quatre heures et demie, et dont la presse propose un condensé. C'est le cas de Politico, qui liste les plus grandes révélations de ces dépositions. C'est du moins comme ça qu'il le titre. On y apprend notamment comment l'ex-président a rencontré Epstein – c'était en 2001 ou 2002, à bord de l'avion du financier. On y lit aussi que Bill Clinton ne savait rien des activités sexuelles de l'entourage d'Epstein. Les femmes qu'il a croisées dans le jet du milliardaire ? Il pensait qu'il s'agissait simplement d'hôtesses de l'air.   À Cuba, Granma frappé par la crise À Cuba, Granma, le journal officiel, ne paraîtra désormais qu'une fois par semaine. Dernier symptôme d'un pays au bord de l'asphyxie. « L'agonie de Granma, porte-voix d'un régime acculé par la crise », titre ainsi 14ymedio. « Avec ses quelques pages et ses titres triomphalistes, écrit le site d'information, le principal média de propagande du régime cubain est la victime la plus récente de la crise énergétique qui frappe l'île. Mais sa coupure, plus qu'une perte d'informations, est le signe de la fin d'un modèle d'endoctrinement », poursuit 14ymedio qui nous conduit dans un pays où les journaux servent de couvertures aux sans-abris, et où les étudiants en journalisme sont privés de cours à cause des coupures de courant. Sur le site d'El Estornudo, enfin, vous lirez le portrait de celui avec qui Washington pourrait bien négocier l'avenir du régime cubain. Il s'appelle Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro. Mais en raison d'une malformation à la main, on le surnomme « le Crabe ». C'est le petit-fils de l'ex-président Raul Castro. Son préféré. Et c'est celui sur qui le secrétaire d'État états-unien Marco Rubio aurait jeté son dévolu. « L'avenir de Cuba entre les pinces du Crabe », c'est donc à lire sur le site d'El Estornudo.   Haïti face aux défis climatiques En Haïti, le ministre de l'Intérieur et des Collectivités territoriales veut des « réponses structurées » pour renforcer la prévention face aux défis climatiques. « Les autorités insistent sur le rôle des collectivités territoriales dans le contrôle de l'urbanisation, la protection des zones à risques et la sensibilisation des communautés, tout en appelant au renforcement des équipements, de la formation et des systèmes d'alerte. Des engagements récurrents mais qui peinent à se concrétiser alors que les inondations meurtrières la semaine dernière dans le nord rappellent l'urgence d'agir », remarque Gotson Pierre, directeur d'Alterpresse. Sur Alterpresse, le Regroupement des Haïtiens de Montréal contre l'Occupation d'Haïti estime, dans une tribune, que depuis que le pouvoir a été transmis uniquement à Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, la police a changé d'attitude et qu'elle interviendrait moins efficacement sur le terrain. Il dénonce une instrumentalisation de la violence à des fins politiques. « Delmas connaît depuis le début de l'année une recrudescence des enlèvements, y compris impliquant des policiers », relève Gotson Pierre. C'est un événement très important pour les peuples indigènes de Méso-Amérique : les dix ans de l'assassinat, au Honduras, de la militante environnementale indigène Berta Caceres. Des rassemblements sont prévus toute la semaine, dans les communautés indigènes du Guatemala, de Salvador, du Costa Rica ou encore du Mexique pour rendre hommage à cette militante indigène hondurienne, lauréate du prix Goldman pour l'environnement. Berta Cáceresa a été assassinée par balle, dans la nuit du 2 au 3 mars 2016, dans sa maison. Elle était à la tête d'un mouvement qui s'opposait à la construction de plusieurs barrages hydroélectriques sur les fleuves du centre du Honduras. Dix ans après sa mort, elle incarne toujours cette lutte : celle pour la défense des terres, des rivières face à l'extraction intensive des ressources naturelles.

Si algo hemos comprobado este año es que defender un planeta más limpio mata. La violencia impune que sufren los defensores del medio ambiente es letal, quizá el ejemplo más extremo lo tenemos en Colombia. Pese a la llegada de Gustavo Petro al poder, Colombia sigue siendo uno de los países más peligrosos del mundo para defender los derechos humanos: allí, 662 activistas han sido asesinados desde 2020.Escuchamos el desgarrador relato que nos ha hace la activista colombiana Yuly Velásquez que como ha sufrido ya 3 atentados por oponerse a un megaproyecto petrolífero en Magdalena Medio, un extenso valle entre las cordilleras colombianas donde la corrupción y la contaminación campas a sus anchas..Pero si alguien retrata a la perfección las secuelas de haber defendido un mundo más justo es el activista Bernardo Caal, fue el único testigo del asesinado de la medioambientalista Berta Caceres.. Años después ha sido él quien ha sufrido las consecuencias de plantar cara a los poderosos, cuatro años de prisión por un supuesto robo que nunca cometió. Esa condena fue el precio que pagó por oponerse a la construcción de varias centrales hidroeléctricas en el río Cahabón de Guatemala, un río sagrado para los Qekchíes.Afortunadamente, no siempre la violencia gana, en ocasiones, la valentía de los activistas prevalece a poder. El ejemplo lo hemos tenido con los Yasuníes. Este pequeño pueblo indígena tiene el mérito de haber conseguido algo insólito. Por primera vez una consulta popular ha conseguido frenar un proyecto petrolífero en una de las zonas de mayor riqueza medioambiental del mundo. Su logro, es todo un ejemplo de tesón.

Dans cet épisode, on va parler d'un assassinat politique au Honduras. Je vais vous raconter l'histoire et le combat de Berta Caceres, une activiste écologiste assassinée en mars 2016 alors qu'elle luttait contre la construction d'un barrage au Honduras.  Dans cette histoire, les axes d'analyses sont nombreux mais pour la deuxième partie, j'ai dû me limiter et donc j'ai décidé de vous parler de féminicide politique, de la théorie de l'écoféminisme et de l'utilisation du terme "écoterroriste".

La rassegna stampa di mercoledì 6 luglio ai microfoni Cecilia FerraraI giornali anche oggi parlano degli incendi che hanno devastato Roma nord due giorni fa e di quello che si doveva fare e non si è fatto per la prevenzione, di possibili inneschi fatti dalla mano dell'uomo. Ritorna intanto il covid e i medici di base chiedono ai Maneskin di annullare il concerto di sabato. Il comune avrà più poteri grazie ad una legge regionale, si continua a cercare soluzioni per lo smaltimento dei rifiuti e ad Ostia un pranzo con Diabolik nel 2017 segnava la pax mafiosa degli Spada. Questo e molto altro nella rassegna stampa di Sveja. Sveja è la rassegna stampa di Roma che cambia ogni giorno realizzata grazie al sostegno della Fondazione Charlemagne e di Guido Larcher.

Episode Title: Justice for Berta & Victory for the Guapinol 8Guest: Karen Spring host of the podcast Honduras Now. She is also the in-country coordinator for the Honduras Solidarity Network.  Berta Caceres was a Honduran (Lenca) environmental activist, indigenous leader,[3] and co-founder and coordinator of the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH).[4][5][6] She won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015, for "a grassroots campaign that successfully pressured the world's largest dam builder to pull out of the Agua Zarca Dam" at the Río Gualcarque.[7][8]Six years ago today, she was assassinated in her home by armed intruders, after years of threats against her life.[9] A former soldier with the US-trained special forces units of the Honduran military asserted that Caceres' name was on their hit-list months before her assassination. Her assassins are yet to stand trial.  On February 24, after 914 days of arbitrary imprisonment, the defenders of the Guapinol River were released. The village of Guapinol sits downstream from the open-pit mining project in Carlos Escaleras National Park. Many locals view the mine as a threat to the regional watershed.Newly inaugurated president Xiomara Castro has declared justice for Berta and on February 28 declared Honduras free of open-pit mining.In partnership with Friends of Latin America, Massachusetts Peace Action and Task Force on the Americas, original broadcasts of WTF is Going on in Latin America & the Caribbean can be viewed every Wednesday at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET on CODEPINK YouTube Live     

On Indigenous Peoples Day the whole team is together for another week in Latin America. Pedro Castillo has significantly reshuffled his cabinet  and we try to make sense of what this means for Peru, for Peru Libre, and for the movement. We then discuss the increasing political violence In Honduras, including the attempted murder of the daughter of murdered activist Berta Caceres and the murder of a Leftist mayor, ahead of their impending election and the historic bloody grip Capital has had in Central America. We finish off by raging about the extra cartoonish week Puerto Rico has had, almost to the point of losing hope, but we will win.

After nine months of delays, David Castillo appears in court to face trial for allegedly coordinating the murder of Berta Caceres. Prosecutors reveal new evidence – including previously unheard telephone recordings, and new text messages – that, they insist, prove David is a manipulative killer. CORRECTION: A previous version of this episode misidentified the voices of David Castillo and Jacobo Atala when describing part of a recorded telephone exchange between them.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Across the Western Hemisphere, Indigenous environmental activists are under attack. They face violence and repression as they continue to defend their water and lands from right-wing governments and extractivist multinational companies. In Chile, the Indigenous Mapuche people have been leading the charge when it comes to defending protected environmental areas from occupying forces. Back in June, Mapuche land rights defender Alberto Curamil was seriously injured in a shooting by police. Meanwhile, in Honduras, a U.S.-trained former Honduran army intelligence officer was recently found guilty over the assassination of Indigenous Lenca environmental activist Berta Caceres. Roberto David Castillo, the president of an internationally-financed hydroelectric company, was found guilty of being co-collaborator in ordering the murder. Our guest is Francisca Stuardo, a Santiago-based consultant for the international climate advocacy group Global Witness. She works on their land and environmental defenders campaign, which highlights threats against activists and pushes businesses, financiers and governments to protect them. On Monday, July 12, the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival announced that it will launch a month of Moral Mondays, featuring peaceful civil disobedience in Washington D.C. and other state capitals, through August 2. It is being billed as the Season of Non-Violent Moral Action. This comes after the For the People Act, a groundbreaking bill in defense of voter rights, failed to pass the Senate, as Republicans voted against starting debate on it. The Poor Peoples Campaign has also been calling for the realization of the Third Reconstruction in the United States. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. Our guest is the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival along with the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

Meanwhile, in Honduras, a U.S.-trained former Honduran army intelligence officer was recently found guilty over the assassination of Indigenous Lenca environmental activist Berta Caceres. Roberto David Castillo, the president of an internationally-financed hydroelectric company, was found guilty of being co-collaborator in ordering the murder. Our guest is Francisca Stuardo, a Santiago-based consultant for the international climate advocacy group Global Witness. She works on their land and environmental defenders campaign, which highlights threats against activists and pushes businesses, financiers and governments to protect them. On Monday, July 12, the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival announced that it will launch a month of Moral Mondays, featuring peaceful civil disobedience in Washington D.C. and other state capitals, through August 2. It is being billed as the Season of Non-Violent Moral Action. This comes after the For the People Act, a groundbreaking bill in defense of voter rights, failed to pass the Senate, as Republicans voted against starting debate on it. The Poor Peoples Campaign has also been calling for the realization of the Third Reconstruction in the United States. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. Our guest is the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival along with the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

In this segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Vicki Cervantes, North America Coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network to discuss Roberto David Castillo being charged in conspiring in the assassination of indigenous organizer Berta Caceres, how Carceres' killing evidences the grave human rights condition in Honduras, and prevailing questions about the possible involvement of US-backed President Juan Orlando Hernandez

On this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Dr. Gabriel Rockhill, an organizer, Founding Director of the Critical Theory Workshop, and Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, to mark six months since the armed, racist mob attack against the US Capitol, pulling from the history of the 1934 ‘Business Plot' where Wall Street and prominent US families conspired to carry out a fascist coup against the government of Franklin D. Roosevelt in an effort to roll back the New Deal. Rockhill makes note of the role of communist organizers in the anti-fascist struggle and proffers that organizers of today should take note of this history as we see similar contradictions in the ruling class in our current moment.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Vicki Cervantes, North America Coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network to discuss Roberto David Castillo being charged in conspiring in the assassination of indigenous organizer Berta Caceres, how Carceres' killing evidences the grave human rights condition in Honduras, and prevailing questions about the possible involvement of US-backed President Juan Orlando HernandezIn the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Radhika Desai, a Professor at the University of Manitoba and Director of Geopolitical Economy Research Group to discuss the recent and ongoing discovery of the remains of hundreds of indigenous children in unmarked graves at several of Canada's residential schools, how the discovery of the childrens' remains defies Canada's reputation as the kindly northern neighbor to the US, how the schools were an expression of settler colonialism and genocide against Indigenous people in Canada, and how the very use of the term “residential school” is an example of how settler colonialism distorts history, as the sites were really indoctrination/assimilation centers designed to strip Indigenous children of their language and culture, and forced labor camps where hundreds - if not thousands - of lives were taken, and survivors were left with lifelong trauma.In the final segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Jemima Pierre, Haiti/Americas Coordinator for the Black Alliance for Peace to discuss the assassination of embattled Haitian president Jovenel Moise, the long history of US-led imperialism in the government of Haiti that every president supported, the implication on the assassination on the relationship between Haiti and Venezuela, the connection to the right-wing government in countries like the Dominican Republic to Haitian politics, what continued imperialist control of Haiti means for US influence in the Caribbean, and how this latest intervention in Haitian politics is part of the persistent Western white supremacist attack on the Black nation that fought for and won it's own self-determination.

Michael Springmann, former American diplomat and political analyst, joins us to discuss the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the fact that some parties want to "hit three birds with one stone." The Russian ambassador to international organizations in Vienna tweeted, “In the context of #ViennaTalks some analysts and officials advocate for addressing new topics such as regional security and missiles. An attempt to hit 3 birds with 1 stone. Unrealistic and counterproductive. The agreed goal of the talks is just to restore the original #JCPOA.” Julie Varughese, solidarity network coordinator for Black Alliance for Peace, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. Over 1,000 Afghan soldiers fled into Tajikistan yesterday as Taliban insurgents marched into northern Afghanistan. Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss the US Air Force awarding a $2 billion contract to develop the Pentagon's new air-launched nuclear cruise missile. The missile, named the Long Range Stand Off weapon (LRSO), is expected to be completed in February 2027.Karen Spring, a Honduras-based human rights defender, researcher and coordinator for the Honduras Solidarity Network, joins us to discuss the Berta Caceres murder trial. According to a report in The Guardian, the Tegucigalpa high court found David Castillo Mejia, a Honduran businessman and former military intelligence officer, guilty for the March 2016 murder of indigenous environmental activist Berta Caceres. Jim Kavanagh, writer at thepolemicist.com and Counter Punch, joins us to talk about Julian Assange. Today, Consortium News began a six-part series on Julian Assange and the Espionage Act, prefacing that "the United States has found ways to deny the rights of a free press when it is politically expedient to do so."Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief at theduran.com and host of "The Alexander Mercouris Show" on YouTube, joins us to discuss his article in Consortium News about the Craig Murray case. Mercouris says the UK Supreme Court should grant the whistleblower and blogger permission to appeal because of the journalism questions the case raises. Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to talk about the Lebanon crisis. Currently, Lebanon is suffering through a crisis that the World Bank says "could rank among the world's three worst since the mid-1800s that affects the country's standard of living."Levi Rickert, editor and publisher of NativeNewsOnline.net, joins us to discuss Canada's grim legacy as 182 more graves of Indigenous children were found at a site of a former boarding school. The discovery came after the remains of hundreds of other Indigenous children were found in unmarked graves at other residential school sites across Canada that they were forced to attend throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Nina Lakhani is the first Environmental Justice Reporter for the Guardian US, based in New York. In this conversation, she discusses her new book Who Killed Berta Cáceres? (2020). Nina Lakhani's book focuses on environmental violence and women in Honduras, but due to her experience in Mexico City, she will also talk about obstretic violence in the state of Guerrero.  Nina Lakhani has reported from over a dozen countries, including six and a half years freelancing in Central America and Mexico. She focused on forced migration, the consequences of the war on drugs, state sponsored violence, corruption, impunity, gender violence, environmental defenders and the battle for natural resources.

The killers of Berta Caceres had every reason to believe they'd get away with murder. More than 100 other environmental activists in Honduras had been killed in the previous five years, yet almost no one had been punished for the crimes. Bloomberg's Blood River follows a four-year quest to find her killers – a twisting trail that leads into the country's circles of power. Blood River is out now.

It's been a big week in Houston between Halloween and the World Series (Go Astros!) and your co-hosts process all that as well as recent developments in the investigation of Honduran land activist Berta Caceres's murder. Then (9:17) we are delighted to welcome OG energy humanist (and birthday boy!) Allan Stoekl to talk about his work at the juncture of energy, philosophy and literature. We begin with Allan's very influential book Bataille's Peak (Minnesota 2007) and how it responded to the peak oil worries of the mid 2000s. Allan explains how he became interested in the finitude and expenditure of energy in the first place and why he thinks Bataille remains an important muse for thinking through our energy dilemmas today. We talk energy-as-wealth, the need to spend, and whether there are different ways of wasting than the ones we have now. From there we turn to Allan's concept of orgiastic recycling and to possibly the most powerful nonsense word of our times, “sustainability.” Talking about his current book project, we cover the scales and time horizons of sustainability and ask why the term is so difficult to avoid. Allan offers a quite fascinating set of observations about populations blooms, the excessiveness of other species and why the Anthropocene may not exist. We learn about terraforming assemblages, wonder what isn't a city anymore, imagine how metal speaks, and eventually come to doubt that a “balance of nature” really exists. Listen on!

In March the award-winning Honduran environmentalist, Berta Caceres, was gunned down at home. Of indigenous Lenca origin, for years she was a prominent critic of the government, and campaigned against the Agua Zarca hydro-electric project in the western highlands. Honduras is the most unequal nation in the Americas, but it is rich in minerals with an enormous capacity for the development of hydro-electric power. Since a coup in 2009 removed the left-leaning President, a business-driven government has granted dozens of concessions for the exploitation of precious national resources. But the race for development is creating bitter – and murderous – disharmony: Honduras has become the most deadly nation on earth to be a land or environmental activist. For Assignment, Linda Pressly, explores how the murder of Berta Caceres is emblematic of profound divisions in Honduras. (Image: A graffiti image of Berta Caceres on a wall in Honduras)

Today on KPFA's women's magazine, we explore the intersections of the environment and gender justice. Across the world, women are at the forefront of grassroots environmental movements, resisting land grabs and displacement from the state/extractive industries to fighting the wrath of environmental toxins impacting the health and well being of their communities. We talk to two inspiring women activists from the global south. First, Preeti Mangala Shekar talked to Honduran environmental activist and indigenous leader, the late Berta Caceres, when she was in the bay area to accept the Goldman Prize in 2015 for her incredible activism fighting her community's displacement from the world's largest dam builder. The Honduran indigenous and environmental rights campaigner, Berta Caceres was murdered by the right wing Honduran government, barely a week after she was threatened for opposing a hydroelectric project. Since Honduras's right wing coup, it has become one of the most violent places in the world. Later in the show, we talk to Dipti Bhatnagar, an Indian organizer with Friends of the Earth International based in Mozambique, who discusses how both grassroots mobilizing and strategically using international spaces like the UN Climate Forum / Conference of Parties (COP) are strategic feminist approaches in the fight for environmental justice. The post Feminist Environmental Justice: Exploring Intersections appeared first on KPFA.

Central America is not in the mainstream news as much as it was in the 1980s, but U.S. support for repressive regimes and destabilization of populist governments continues. In 2009, after a military coup ousted the democratically elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, Hillary Clinton campaigned actively among U.S. allies in Latin America to prevent Zelaya's return.  In the years since the coup, assassinations and arrests of indigenous, environmentalist, feminist and LGBT activists, repression of journalists, and murders in general, have skyrocketed.  In the last two weeks, two important Honduran environmental and indigenous leaders, Berta Caceres and Nelson Garcia, have been murdered, in what the government describes as random and unrelated acts.  Suyapa Portillo, professor of Chicano/a and Latino/a Transnational Studies at Pitzer College, discusses the life and work of Berta Caceres, who she says never failed to connect the struggle against patriarchy to the fight for land rights. We also speak with Suyapa Portillo about Zika virus and the Salvadoran government's recommendation that women avoid getting pregnant for the next two years.  While motivated by a concern for the well-being of women and babies, the recommendation will be hard to implement since abortion is completely illegal in El Salvador.  Portillo suggests that Zika must be seen in the context of other health and economic issues facing low-income Salvadoran women. The Nina Serrano sits down with long-time radio producer Kris Welch, who came to KPFA in 1972 to learn to do radio and cover women's issues.  They talk about Kris's fascinating youth traveling around Europe, Iran and Turkey, getting an abortion in England and how she ended up at KPFA.

This week on CounterSpin: The killing of two Western hostages by a CIA drone strike in Pakistan led some US media to re- engage debate over US drone policy. But media's discussion is over how and where drones should be used—not whether they should be. We'll talk to law professor Marjorie Cohn, author of, most recently, Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal, Moral and Geopolitical Issues. Also on the show: Sometimes called the Green Nobel, the Goldman Environmental Prize is given to grassroots environmental activists from each of six world regions. This year's winners, including Honduran indigenous rights leader Berta Caceres and the group COPINH, are fighting not just governments but some of the world's most powerful corporations to protect their land and livelihood. That's why Caceres and her colleagues face death threats and repression. And it surely has something to do with why you can read all of the US media coverage of Caceres and the Goldman Prize in the time of an elevator ride. We'll hear from Beverly Bell of the group Other Worlds about this story. The post CounterSpin – May 1, 2015 appeared first on KPFA.
