U.N. blames Honduras security forces for killing electoral protesters
Quote:
 
GENEVA (Reuters) - Honduran security forces, especially the military police, used excessive and lethal force against protesters demonstrating against President Juan Orlando Hernandez’s disputed re-election in November, the United Nations said on Monday.


Human Rights Organisations Call for Action for the Release of Political Prisoners in Honduras
Quote:
 
During the electoral crisis, the Juan Orlando Hernandez government, supported and financed by North American and European governments, has criminalized various protesters and activists in Honduras. Currently, there are 26 political prisoners in Honduras, the majority of whom are being held in maximum security prisons and their families cannot visit them. This is how the Honduran government is punishing people who fight for democracy in Honduras.

Amid corruption concerns, Gen. Kelly made allies in Honduras
Quote:
 
DORAL, Fla. (AP) — U.S. Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly came to Congress in March 2015 with some good news from Honduras, a country where good news is often hard to find.

As leader of the U.S. military’s Southern Command, he had been playing an important role in America’s push to stop the flow of drugs through Honduras and other troubled nations south of the U.S. border, a mission that would boost his diplomatic credentials and later help lead to a bigger job: Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff.

Kelly told Congress in his 2015 testimony that the Honduran government was working hard, in partnership with the U.S., to fight drug trafficking and shield its citizens from violence.

“Human rights groups have acknowledged to me that Honduras is making real progress,” he testified.

Kelly didn’t say which groups had told him that. In fact, key organizations tracking human rights in Honduras were saying just the opposite.

John Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command, during Hernandez’s official visit to the command’s headquarters in Miami, Florida. From late 2012 to early 2016, Kelly forged close ties with Honduran military and security chiefs, even as colleagues elsewhere in the Obama administration raised concerns about links between drug trafficking and high-ranking officials in the Honduran government, according to documents obtained by the Associated Press and interviews with more than 20 former State Department, Defense Department, Drug Enforcement Agency and national security officials who worked closely with Kelly, as well as human rights activists, former Honduran officials and academics.

Honduras will keep fighting gangs despite Trump threat: minister
Quote:
 
TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Honduras will keep fighting the scourge of gangs whether or not the United States decides to cut off aid, the security minister said on Thursday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened aid cuts.

Trump announced on Wednesday that he is working on a plan to reduce U.S. aid to countries he accuses of doing nothing to stop MS-13 gang members from crossing into the United States illegally. Trump did not provide details on the plan but said it would “radically” change the way U.S. foreign aid is structured.

The notorious crime group was founded by Salvadorans in Los Angeles in the 1980s and spread to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala as the United States deported waves of migrants.

Honduras Anti-Corruption Probe Implicates President, Opposition
Quote:
 
Authorities in Honduras have accused dozens of officials and collaborators of diverting millions of dollars of public money for political purposes, including to fund President Juan Orlando Hernández’s 2013 campaign. But the explosive allegations are likely to generate strong pushback from the suspects and their allies, potentially hindering the progress of the case.
