José Francisco García Sobalbarro
José Francisco García Sobalvarro had been a member of the “Contras” and supported the anti-government protests. In 2018, police and paramilitary harassment forced him to take refuge in the municipality of Trojes in the Honduran department of El Paraíso.
He was murdered on July 13, 2019, in the same circumstances as his friend Edgard Montenegro. José Francisco was returning from working the land that day when two people turned up at his house and shot him. His body was taken to Tegucigalpa, from where the authorities notified his family.
