Izaskun Sánchez Aroca / Madrid
Tuesday, 29 September 2009. Diagonal Number 109 Number 110
The return of Manuel Zelaya has hardened repression strongly against the resistance. The data are unclear and the work of human rights organizations has been further complicated by the curfew.
On 25 September the International Observation Mission on the Situation of Human Rights in Honduras, made up of 17 independent representatives in different countries, presented in Madrid a report containing a documentation of how the de facto government violates freedom of expression, communication or representation, arbitrarily arrested resistance leaders and activists, persecute, torture and intimidates, with particular cruelty to women's organizations.
The presented the report stated that the latest data received from Tegucigalpa talks about the transfer of detainees to stadiums, the wounded taken to hospitals and taken to detention centers and how ambulances are stopped to be checked. Reina Rivera, director of the Center for Research and Development in Human Rights (CIPRODEH) presented the report. Rivera said that until 25 September, his organization has documented 17 murders, ten gunmen through four protestors in the street, two peasant leaders and a teacher. "All opposed the coup and some were members of the Democratic Unification Party," he says.
In late August there were already more than 4,000 arbitrary detentions, of which 156 were minors, in violation of curfew and street demonstrations. "Some detainees have also confirmed the torture in detention centers," said Honduran activist. "Men are submitted to fire under their testicles and women are penetrated through a nightstick (police baton) in their sexual organs. They also throw pepper spray and beat detainees. " In late August the number of injured stood at 300. Xenophobia is another form of de facto government. "Detentions are common to foreigners, mainly Nicaraguans.
The latest arrests included two children aged 8 and 12 years with their parents. Moreover, the DPP has declared the demonstrations illegal, hence "is used to make selective arrests, conduct joint trials on charges including illegal demonstrations, sedition and even terrorism in some cases" denounces this human rights activist.
Another right that is violated is syndication, especially the state groups. Reyes confirmed that after leaving Honduras "a group of 120 teachers were facing the Honduran justice prosecutor with a request to invoke their right to strike." Trade unions in the national electricity company have been dismissed. In San Pedro Sula, 300 people have lost their jobs. "There were also notes found from private companies that force workers to participate in the marches of the white shirts [the de facto support for the regime]," says Reyes.
