HRD's bio and work

(AI Translated) The defender Mynor Gonzalez was detained while bringing food to his mother Regina Barrera, who was being held in custody after being captured in a raid days earlier at the La Asunción farm in Coatepeque, along with three other people from the same community. Upon arriving at the site and giving his name, they informed him that there was an arrest warrant for the crime of usurpation, and he was therefore detained.
