Murdered daughter of a member of the resistance in San Pedro Sula Wednesday February 24, 2010





The murderers knocked on the door of the house of Claudia Brizuela Larissa (39) who was shot several times inflicting instant death at about two o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday February 24th in San Pedro Sula, on the eve of a great mobilization called by the Frente Nacional de Resistencia Popular FNRP in the capital.
She is the daughter of Pedro  Brizuela, a renowned member of FNRP, who noted that the country is a police state that monitors, pursues and kills people who decided to take to the streets to demand the return of institutionalism.
Claudia's murder is already the third one committed under  the regime of Porfirio Lobo Sosa. Vanessa Zepeda, who was murdered on 03 February and Julio Fúnez Benitez, gunned down by paramilitaries.
Claudia was shot in the head, when she was at his house in Colonia Celeo Gonzalez. Her children, Said (2) and Eduard(8)  are now orphaned.
Pedro Brizuela a committed member of the resistance and former union leader, told defensoresenlinea.com that the crime of his daughter is a shameful fact that is directly related to their participation in the FNRP.
Claudia's body is being veiled at  the Sindicate of the Municipality of San Pedro Sula, moved to where dozens of resistance members can offer their condolences to his father.
According to data provided by neighbors, a woman who saw the criminal act was arrested by the police and even in the early hours of the afternoon no one knew her whereabouts, the suspicion is that they  may  disappear her to leave no traces.
Now the selective repression targets women
Coinciding with the murder of Claudia, the Committee of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared in Honduras, COFADEH, received more than three complaints in the afternoon, they  said women  had received death threats on their cell phone, another was persecuted with a vehicle and three others reported harassment through phone calls.
One of them threatened to kill her son and people very closely related to her.

Opening the door she was shot several times in the head
Another  victim of persecution since Aug. 12 was when some 25 policemen brutally beat her to the degree of crack teeth, hitting her on the face, as  product of that she  lost  sight on her right eye and has serious problems in her spine.
Three more, belonging to the feminist collective of University Women, COFEMUN expressed before COFADEH that even agents of National Bureau of Investigation have called to their phone to ask for clandestine abortion clinics as a way of intimidating their work in defending  women's rights and taking advantage of impunity  of  all sorts of crimes committed  against the people of Honduras by the previous and current regime.



The worrying part is that all this climate of terror has its scene a few hours before the start of a demonstration called by the FNRP starting at eight in the morning on Thursday, and where thousands of people will participate.
But violence against the resistance has increased since January 28 when Óscar Álvarez became the current Security Minister, who stated that the resistance should be dismantled because it has no rationale.
In a press conference on Tuesday,  FNRP rejected the Truth Commission because of it being driven by the coup leaders themselves and has already clear signs that the aim is to leave them with impunity, the human rights violations that only 28 days in the current system run to some 254.
This whole scenario contrasts with the "agility" of the Public Prosecutor in dismissing the cases against the military that violated freedom of expression of Radio Globo in recent months. The prosecutor himself has said that the office will act to close trials for human rights violations, but that they have been established by the prosecution as mere abuse of authority, agreeing with the crimes included in an amnesty decree, which the coup leaders say it applies to President Manuel Zelaya Rosales.
