Mr. Trejo, who was killed in September 2012, worked for a peasant farmer movement called MARCA. I just visited MARCA on its plantations about a month ago when I was in Honduras. Mr. Trejo was the first lawyer to be successful in carrying out a legal case against the three large wealthy landowners in the Aguán Valley, and for that he lost his life, but he won the case for the peasant farmer movement.
There has been no investigation into his death, and his family members have been very public in demanding justice. His brother was actually just assassinated in February of this year. There is an investigation into his brother's death, but from what I've heard from human rights organizations and from the peasant farmer movement, it's a very manipulated investigation, not in any way a fair investigation that is occurring.
Antonio Trejo, the lawyer, was also really important in challenging other laws that are important and that also touch on Canadian interests. He put forward an injunction against the model city law that Canadians have been involved in, which I hope the committee will review at some point. The movement he represented is now without legal representation. It has lost its lawyer who had a lot of documentation and a lot of knowledge about the situation. They are basically awaiting evictions again. They're in the same state they were in before. Even though the court has ruled in their favour, nothing has happened.
