complaint about human rights violations in Honduras


Given the gravity of the situation of human rights in Honduras, it is not surprising that in recent weeks, two reputable international agencies have commented publicly on the matter.

First Inter-American Commission on Human Rights expressed its concern at the continuation of practices that violate human rights, such as those found after the coup, especially with regard to the disproportionate use of force to suppress public manifestations "Contrary to current government policies, lack of independence of the judiciary and the situation of human rights and human rights defenders."

Therefore, the Commission urged the Honduran government to implement a protocol for the protection of human rights defenders and human rights defenders and to promote in the various areas of the scheme and in Honduran society a culture of recognition of the work of these as essential elements strengthening the rule of law and democracy.

Secondly, Human Rights Watch denounced the police brutality that caused the death of Ilse Velásquez Rodríguez, beatings and other abuses manifestations of teachers, students and others who oppose the reforms to the system of public education, and attacks on journalists covering the days of repression.

For this organization, to the excessive use of force against protesters, tear gas and beating indiscriminately against demonstrators, Lobo Sosa's regime must not tolerate such treatment in any abuses and has the obligation to promote sanctions discipline, including expulsion from office and criminal actions against those police and military involved in such violations.

Despite the strength of the claims of these two international bodies the regime continues to practice his speech and criminalizing dissent and those nationally and internationally denounced grave and systematic human rights violations have not stopped committed in the country since the coup.

The wave of repression with its consequent impact on the media, should serve the international community to replace the light responsibly in Honduras, and especially for the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court decides as soon as possible to initiate criminal investigations of senior civilian and military police responsible for these crimes.
