Human rights advocate killed in Honduras

Tegucigalpa - A human rights activist who worked on behalf of the rights of homosexuals has been killed in the nation's capital, reports said Wednesday. Walter Trochez, who worked for the human rights center Ciprodeh, was killed in the open on a street and buried on Tuesday. The background to the killing was unclear.

The National Resistance Movement that has worked against the coup that ousted President Jose Manuel Zelaya said Wednesday that Trochez had been detained by police two weeks ago because he demanded the return of Zelaya to power.
