Two men accused of the 2006 murder of “lawyer of the poor” Dionisio Díaz García were found guilty in a Tegucigalpa court on Feb. 27. Individual sentencing for César Damián Amador and Ramón Eusebio Solís will take place on March 18, but both are expected to receive the maximum penalty of 30 years in jail. Human Rights Prosecutor Sandra Ponce said, “The important thing is that justice has been carried out today, which is very important for defenders of human rights.” The verdict came days after the public testimony of “witness Z,” whose eyewitness account placed the two men incontrovertibly at the scene as the shooters. The witness was heavily protected and remained anonymous behind a grey robe and mask. [Revistazo, 2/20/09; La Prensa, 2/27/09; La Tribuna, 2/28/09; Revistazo, 2/28/09; past story: MISF, 1/22/07]
