Editing Gustavo Álvarez Martínez (section)

==Murder==
Gustavo Álvarez Martínez arrived in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on April 9, 1988 under intense and strict security measures. The next day he gave his first statement to a journalist from the agency ACAN-EFE, stating that he did not fear for his life because he was a Christian, and that if someone accused him of something, he would prove it in court and not talk "nonsense" in the street: "Just as God took me out of Honduras, because it was by his will that I lost my job and my career, by his own will I return to the country," he affirmed.

On the morning of January 25, 1989, Álvarez Martínez left his residence in the Florencia Norte neighborhood to go to his brother's house so that he could accompany him to buy a Bible. He was in a car, accompanied by his driver and the Costa Rican Adolfo Abreu. They stopped for a moment at Suyapa Boulevard, a moment that was taken advantage of by a group of people who looked like technicians in the repair service of the state electric power company, armed with  submachine guns, who opened fire on the vehicle. Eyewitnesses say that there were five or six men traveling in a green van with Uzi machine guns. The ex-military received several projectiles, dying on the way to the hospital, while his driver died instantly.

Later, the "Cinchoneros" Popular National Liberation Movement issued a statement attributing the action to its "Lempira" command, in an act of vindication "to the Honduran and Central American martyrs who fell in the struggle for the complete liberation" of Honduras
