The news comes from Bajo Aguan, Honduras. On Sunday August 14 six people were murdered in that region of the country, as part of the new militarization process installed by the dictatorial regime.The website of the National Front of Popular Resistance (FNRP) reported that six people died and 11 were injured during clashes in the estate of Paso del Aguan.This happened shortly after a meeting of women of La Via Campesina in that part of the country to demand the end of militarization and violence in Aguan, a key place for the peasant movements that fight for land.

As a result of this and other violent incidents the minister of security of Honduras announced the militarization of the area of Aguan and the installation of permanent (US) military bases.The controversial militarization of Bajo Aguan takes place a few days after nearly a hundred women of La Via Campesina arrived in the area from 18 different departments, in order to condemn the increasing violence in the region.
