They try to kill another member of the Resistance



March 23, Tegucigalpa. 
Alexander Antonio
The electricity  technician, ALEXANDER ANTONIO HERRERA, a 35-year-old married father with 8 children, all minors (6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15) denounces that at seven p.m. he peered into the porch of his home to protect visually his wife, who went to buy tortillas for dinner in the crowded Residential Honduras in Tegucigalpa.

He went out twice to the porch of his house,  due to the uncertainty generated by the insecurity of all of those who have achieved a  chance of appearing in a newspaper or videos in acts of heroism resisting the coup. This act of advertising is one of the features that characterize cases of summary or extrajudicial killings against members of the resistance.

Alexander is one of them. He stayed at the Embassy of Brazil near President Zelaya on September 22, on the day of the cruel eviction carried out by military and police against  poor and  unarmed people, harassed and vilified through the death instruments(military, death squads) financed with public funds  from  the  taxes you pay, or by the external debt.

So is the case of Alexander, who likewise integrated the caravans that came from Radio Globo with provisions for people trapped at military checkpoints in the department of Danli, during the illegal and illegitimate curfews(during the second time Zelaya tried to get inside the country through Nicaragua).

His 6-year-old child  is getting harassed at school John F. Kennedy in Colonia Kennedy, Tegucigalpa. The child is accused by one of his teachers of being the son of a member of the resistance to the degree that it has led to the boy's  physical abuse.

The second time Alexander approached the porch of his house, strangers who were outside his home began to shoot at him. Consecuently, one of the shots caused a wound in his right leg and the bullet impacts  remained embedded in the walls, furniture, even in a refrigerator that is in the living room. He saved his life, because he was able to  intuit the  intention of the attackers throwing himself on the floor and  leaving him a chance to turn off the lights. The criminals did not enter his house and it is not known why, but they moved to a hill from which one  can view his home and they mercilessly fired from there, regardless of his children's lives at risk, who were fortunately unharmed in the attack.

At the time of aggression, he called a friend of his who is a policeman, who arranged for a police patrol to go to  his home and agents of the DNI  transferred him to the police office, they took  his data, photographs from his wound, but didn't take  him to a hospital to seek medical care, which he had to do on his own, moving in such condition to a clinic where he was assisted.

We  ask for protective measures from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, since
we can do little  for another victim of repression, who has 8 children, a wife, a modest home that has cost him part of his life as he tells.
