Walter Orlando Tróchez (1982-13 December 2009) was a Honduran political activist and LGBT rights leader who was murdered in Tegucigalpa.
A Honduran rights group said Walter Tróchez was briefly kidnapped 4 December 2009 by four masked men who beat him before he managed to escape.
[2][3] The assailants threatened to kill Tróchez because of his participation in the anti-coup movement, the International Observatory on the Human Rights Situation said.
Amnesty International reacted to the news of Walter Tróchez's death by demanding urgent and independent inquiry into the matter.
[7][8] On January 26 and 27 2010, several vigils and demos were organised in Berlin, San Francisco, Los Angeles, in solidarity with Gay Hondurans and for democracy.
