En repudio al asesinato de dirigentes campesinos en Honduras

The statement by Amigos de la Tierra de América Latina y el Caribe (ATALC) denounces the killings of José Ángel Flores and Silmer Dionisio George in Honduras. It attributes this violence to a 'state of exception' characterized by extreme militarization and the influence of transnational capital and international trade treaties that promote monocultures for biofuels, bananas, and sugar cane, leading to the criminalization of human rights and environmental defenders.

• The murders of José Ángel Flores, president of the Movimiento Unificado Campesino del Aguán (MUCA), and Silmer Dionisio George, a leader of the La Confianza cooperative in Tocoa, Colón, are linked to a highly militarized environment involving military, police, private guards, and international police.
• Violence against peasant, indigenous, and human rights defenders in Honduras is driven by structural factors, including impunity rates exceeding 90%, extreme state militarization, and the impact of unequal economic treaties and World Bank policies that favor large corporate consortia.
• Environmental destruction and the expansion of monocultures for biofuels, bananas, and sugar cane, conducted under international trade treaties, contribute to the systemic violence and social trauma affecting rural communities.
