This case is about the murder of a transgender woman during the curfew following the 2009 coup, and the botched subsequent investigation. The Court found Honduras not only in violation of several articles of the American Convention, but also of the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence against Women (Convention of Belém do Pará).
