The FIAN International team is deeply saddened to receive the news of Gilberto Ríos? passing the 26 of September. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family, colleagues and friends during this difficult time.

Gilberto Ríos served as FIAN Honduras Executive Director for many years. He was well known for his commitment to the cause of a sovereign and just Honduras, and was a key person in the long-standing struggle for agrarian reform. Gilberto founded the Honduran Institute of Rural Development (IHDER) and Guaymuras publishing house, among many other initiatives he carried out throughout his life for the sole purpose of furthering social justice. There is no doubt that his profound reflections of Honduran reality and his tireless work with peasants and workers organizations around the country will continue to shine in generations to come. 

We feel grateful for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by continuing working with the same commitment and strength as he did until his very last day.
