TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - A colleague of slain Honduran activist Berta Caceres, known for her fight against the encroachment of hydroelectric dams and mines on indigenous lands, was killed by unidentified men in the western part of the country, authorities said on Thursday.
Lesbia Yaneth Urquia, 49, was found dead by a road in the semi-rural town of Marcala, 100 kilometres west of Tegucigalpa, the capital, Honduran Security Ministry spokesman Luis Osabas said by phone. Urquia had been missing since Wednesday when she left home on a bicycle, he added.
