Pablo Isabel Hernández Rivera, the 34-year-old director of Radio Tenan, was killed in the Tierra Colorada community in the department of Lempira, Honduras after being shot while walking to church from his home.
In addition to being director of the popular communication project of Radio Tenan, Hernández Rivera was a leader of the Lenca indigenous community to which the radio belonged and from which he promoted the creation of the Indigenous and Peoples University.
Radio Tenan is a medium that has denounced acts of local corruption. Members of the media have stated that during 2021, as a result of their critical position against the local government, they had been victims of threats, theft of computers and sabotage of transmission equipment, with the aim of preventing their investigative work.
