Vecinos del Bulevar organization was organized in March 2016 to oppose the installation of a high voltage power line by the Tres Valles Sugar Mill to run above housing on the main boulevard of Villa de San Francisco in the Francisco Morazán municipality. Three times the neighbors have been violently removed by the police, who committed different kinds of attacks against them and even threatened to take the defenders’ children away from them if they kept on with the protests. The National Electrical Energy Company (ENEE) manager filed a complaint with the Public Prosecutor, resulting in an injunction against ten members of the organization for the alleged offense of land usurpation, among them Sonia María Quezada, Concha María Elvir and Santos Esther Velázquez.
