 led the Civic Council of Indigenous and Popular Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), and supported indigenous communities that denounced the illegal implementation of DESA’s Agua Zarca hydroelectric project in indigenous territory. Castillo was President of the DESA corporation at the time of the murder and apparently continues in that role today.
On March 2, 2018, Castillo was arrested for Cáceres.’ murder. Evidence presented to Honduran courts by prosecutors suggests that Castillo participated in the murder of Berta Cáceres. as an intellectual author, allegedly coordinating with, and presumably providing funds to, the material authors for the purpose of carrying out the murder. Castillo has been indicted for the murder and the case remains in the initial phase of prosecution; no other intellectual authors of the crime have been arrested.
Evidence suggests that the murder of Berta Cáceres was part of a pattern of violence, corruption, intimidation, malicious prosecution and impunity orchestrated by Castillo and others at DESA, who appear to have functioned as a criminal structure. Evidence admitted in Honduras v. Douglas Bustillo et al suggests that Castillo and his associates and employees at DESA enlisted the support of key agencies of the Honduran government, using improper influence in the Ministry of Security, police military and the Honduran judiciary, seemingly to advance efforts to intimidate, persecute, and neutralize Berta Cáceres and COPINH’s opposition to the Agua Zarca project.
at that time were involved in the creation of PRODERSSA. The transfer of PRODERSSA’s ownership to PEMSA occurred months before the Cachiros’ leaders surrendered to the DESA. Castillo was the legal representative of PEMSA, which also owned a large share of DESA.
PRODERSSA’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the National Electrical Energy Company (ENEE) was awarded just 12 days before Honduran President Porfirio Lobo left office. A leader of the Cachiros testified in U.S. court that he made bribes to Lobo in exchange for contracts favorable to companies he owned. This provokes concern that PRODERSSA’s PPA may have been awarded through corruption.
Recently formed corporations with which Castillo has been associated were granted contracts from state agencies for which Castillo has worked. The companies apparently had little or no relevant experience or capital of transparent origin. This included a PPA held by DESA that Honduran prosecutors say was fraudulently negotiated with the ENEE to provide unduly favorable conditions to DESA.
Castillo has been subject to administrative sanctions for actions that could be considered criminal corruption. The Honduran High Tribunal of Auditors found that Castillo’s computer company sold equipment to the Armed Forces at inflated prices and that Castillo also illegally received a double salary from the government while he was a military officer and a contracted employee of the ENEE.
The Mission to Support the Fight Against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH) has initiated an investigation into potential bribes related to the ENEE’s dealings with the Brazilian company Constructora Norberto Odebrecht. Honduran media reports that Castillo formed part of the team which negotiated contracts with Odebrecht, even traveling to Brazil, on behalf of the Honduran government.
The investigations detailed in A Profile of David Castillo opened a window into the activities of individuals allegedly involved in criminal activities and human rights violations that benefit corporations, which have reportedly received support from international investors and multilateral development banks. These international financial institutions were at least partially owned by foreign governments such as Norway, Holland and Finland, and included multilateral development banks like the World Bank, in which the United States holds a significant ownership share. Some of these banks and international investors continue to benefit from investments in corporations with questionable state licenses and contracts. In the case of DESA, some development banks did cancel financing, however, DESA apparently continues to hold licenses and contracts for the Agua Zarca Project.
The report highlights the precarious situation of human rights in Honduras and shows how concessions to exploit natural resources – especially when they are made to companies with connections to dangerous criminal networks – often profoundly and negatively impact surrounding communities. This often leads to conflicts that put community human rights defenders at extreme risk.
The Profile of David Castillo urges the international community to call on the Honduran government to protect human rights defenders, fight corruption and impunity, and prevent the participation of state actors in human rights violations. It also sets out a series of recommendations regarding international development financing.

Welcome to the dark side. If you have any 'God holes' that are bothering you, please shoot them at me. What I see a fair bit of here is people rejecting faith for the first time and then having questions that God previously answered. Questions such as why should I be happy, what is the meaning of life, how did we get here, what is consciousness, is there still a soul etc. We got you bro.

If a ⊥m (where, ⊥ means relatively prime) then 1.1 has a solution. This is because we can divide by a, and obtain an expression for x. Otherwise, if gcd(a,m)=d>1, then there is a solution if d|b. That is we can divide by a and obtain an expression for x. (Actually, there are d solutions). In other cases, there is no solution.
This solution is unique mod 7, as can be verified by checking the complete residue system for 7.
0≡1 (mod 3), or 3x≡1 (mod 3), and there are no numbers, mod 3, which when multiplied by 3 give 1, which we can check for all the possible values 0, 1, 2, So there are no solutions.
4x≡4 (mod 12), has gcd(4,12)=4, which divides 4, so there is a solution to this equation. In fact, as we shall see later, there are 4 solutions mod 12.
Alternatively, because ax≡b (mod m)↔b≡ax (mod m), because they are equivalent. then we can write ax-km=b as ax+km=b, with a change in sign for k.
According to Euclid's Extended Algorithm, then there are numbers which satisfy x and k.
ax≡1 (mod m) has solutions for x when a and m are relatively prime.
So x1≡x2 (mod m). We can divide by a, because, from above, a and m are relatively prime, so the cancellation rule applies.
That is if x1 is a solution, and x2 is any other solution, then x2 is equivalent to x1, and x1 is therefore unique.
In the table below, I have written xk first, because its coefficient is greater than that of y. In the second example, the order is reversed because the coefficient of the xk is smaller than the coefficient of the y.
1 1 0 5 First write down the larger number (5) and fill in the x and y columns with 1 and 0, respectively.
2 0 1 -3 -1 Write down the next number, (3) and fill in the x and y columns with 0 and 1 respectively.
Also fill in the q2 column with r1 (mod r2)=-1, and write the remainder of the division as r3 below.
3 1 1 2 -1 Compute the next q value, r2 mod r3=-1, and write the next remainder, r4=-1, below.
The equation 9x≡1 (mod 256) is not so easy to solve through testing, and is one which requires us to use Euclid's Extended Algorithm.
From the table, we note that x=57, and in 9x≡1 (mod 256), the solution is equivalent to 57.
Therefore x1 is a unique solution, because any other solution is equivalent.
Of course, we do not need to use Euclid.
m|(ax-b), and if d divides m, and d divides a, then d must divide b.
Let k, an integer, be such that k =(ax-b)/m, so ax-b=km.
Now as d divides the left-hand side, it must divide the right hand side, which by our assumption, it does not. As it is false that d does not divide b, it must be true that d divides b, otherwise, the equation ax≡b (mod m), with
