Honduran Villagers Take Legal Action to Stop Mining Firm Digging Up Graves for Gold | Earth First! Newswire: As many as 350 bodies have reportedly been exhumed by the company’s Honduran subsidiary, Minerales de Occidente (Minosa) since the process began last fall. The issue has divided Azacualpa, a coffee-producing community perched near the edge of the decades-old San Andres open-pit gold mine, and opened up rifts within families.
Some residents fear the graveyard is the last line of defence before the Canadian-listed company will eye the community as its next extraction site.
Genaro Rodriguez, a 60-year-old construction worker and coffee producer who lives in Azacualpa, hopes a legal challenge will put a stop to the debacle – a court has ordered a temporary halt to exhumations pending further investigations.
