I want to live, but in this country there is total impunity. When they want to kill me, they will do it.' In 2015, C ceres won the Goldman Prize, the world's most prestigious environmental award, for leading a campaign to stop construction of an internationally funded hydroelectric dam on a river sacred to her Lenca people. Less than a year later she was dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLakhani tracked C ceres remarkable career, in which the defender doggedly pursued her work in the face of years of threats and while friends and colleagues in Honduras were exiled and killed defending basic rights. Lakhani herself endured intimidation and harassment as she investigated the murder. She was the only foreign journalist to attend the 2018 trial of C ceres's killers, where state security officials, employees of the dam company and hired hitmen were found guilty of murder. Many questions about who ordered and paid for the killing remain unanswered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on more than a hundred interviews, confidential legal filings, and corporate documents unearthed after years of reporting in Honduras, Lakhani paints an intimate portrait of an extraordinary woman in a state beholden to corporate powers, organised crime, and the United States.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNINA LAKHANI\u003c\/b\u003e has reported from over a dozen countries including six and a half years freelancing in Central America and Mexico, and staff jobs with the \u003ci\u003eIndependent\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eIndependent and Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e in London.
