Fidel Zavala, spokesperson for the Unidad de Defensa de Derechos Humanos y Comunitarios (UNIDEHC), has been held in pre-trial detention since 25 February 2025 for supporting the community La Floresta from
a forced eviction. The authorities had used several delay tactics that had prolonged his imprisonment and obtained and extension of the period of the investigation until March 2026. We call on the Attorney General to stop requesting further extensions of the investigation period.
