Statement of SOA Watch Delegation to US Embassy in Honduras http://www.soaw.org/component/content/article/78/3692-statement-of-soa-watch-delegation-to-us-embassy-in-honduras

Today, SOA Watch activists participating in a human rights observation delegation to Honduras, held a demonstration outside the US embassy in the capital, Tegucigalpa. SOA Watch founder Fr. Roy Bourgeois and Latin America coordinator Lisa Sullivan were among the activists calling an end to US-funded military and police repression of social movements in Honduras, and demanding the closure of the three US military bases in that country.We find ourselves profoundly concerned by the grave and widespread situation of human rights violations, the involvement of government security forces, and the total impunity that reigns in the country.

The severity and extent of repression of the Lobo regime in recent months exceeds that of the first weeks under Micheletti. Extrajudicial executions, violent repression of protest, death threats and harrassment are being methodically implemented to halt resistance to government efforts to offer Honduras to the highest bidder, as is evident in the “Honduras is Open for Business” conference currently taking place. We found clear complicity between government officials, security forces and the private corporate sector in their bid for the land, skills, labor and natural resources of Honduras.

We therefore call on our government to :Immediately suspend U.S. assistance to the military and policeInsist that the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa publicly denounce violence and threats against defenders and activists Pressure the Honduran government to end abuse by official security forces by suspending, investigating and prosecuting those implicated in human rights violations.Insist that the Honduran government be pressed to vigorously implement the measures recommended by the IACHR to protect human rights defenders and journalists.End U.S. military presence at and funding for the Palmerola, Guanaja, and Caratasca bases
