[image: Erick Martinez]<http://hondurashumanrights.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/erick_martinez.jpeg>The
lifeless body of Honduran journalist Erick Martinez Avila was found Monday
in a sewer in Guasculile, on the road leading to the department of Olancho
(northeast), and with him totals more than 20 journalists killed during the
rule of Porfirio Lobo, according to figures from the National Commission on
Human Rights (NCHR).

Avila, 32 years old, was a member of a community that advocates for gay
rights called Kukulcan Association and was the founder of the Diversity
Movement in Resistance.

He had also been chosen as a candidate for deputy from the department of
Francisco Morazan by the current Popular Refoundation Force (RPF), from the
Freedom and Refoundation Party (Libre), which emerged from the National
Front of Popular Resistance (FNRP), which was created after the coup
against then President Manuel Zelaya in 2009.

The National Commissioner of Human Rights. Ramon Custodio, recently
condemned the violence against the journalists’ union in Honduras, and
reported that at least 21 media workers have been killed in this country in
the last three years.

Police sources told local media that upon surveying the corpse, the cause
of death was not determined because the victim presented no injuries.
However, later on it was known that the death was from “asphyxia by
strangulation.”

The body was moved to Tegucigalpa´s morgue where it was entered as an
unknown, since it did not carry personal documents, and was later
identified by his family.

Before Avila, the most recent assassination case was the Fausto Elio
Hernandez, 54, who was attacked with a machete last March in the town of
Sheba, 600 kilometers northeast of the capital.

The NCHR announced months ago that in 2011, Honduras held the highest
homicide rate in the world, with 86 people killed per 100,000. In 2010 the
figure was 82. The same Commission estimated that in this Central American
nation a violent death occurs every 74 minutes.
