Report on Honduras by Emergency Delegation

2/25/2018

0 Comments

 
Our Emergency Delegation to Honduras has issued a report on our visit with the following findings:
  • The reelection of President Juan Orlando Hernandez is both unconstitutional and fraudulent.
  • Peaceful protests have been met with state-sponsored violence, repression and impunity.
  • The militarization of Honduran society, combined with impunity at every level of government, is a primary driver of inequality, human rights violations and migration.
  • US support for, and security assistance to, the current Honduran government plays a fundamental role in abetting human rights violations in Honduras.
We call on the U.S. Government to:
  1. End support for the current central government of Honduras and the illegitimate presidency of Juan Orlando Hernandez.
  2. Support the call for national dialogue to address the fraudulent election and current crisis--with an international mediator.
  3. End military and security aid to Honduras as per HR 1299, the Berta Caceres Act.
  4. End the militarization underway in the region.
  5. Stop deportation of Hondurans and other Central Americans, and support immigrant rights.
