En repudio al asesinato de dirigentes campesinos en Honduras

A statement by Amigos de la Tierra de América Latina y el Caribe (ATALC) condemning the murders of peasant leaders José Ángel Flores and Silmer Dionisio George in Honduras, attributing the violence to structural causes including militarization and corporate interests.

• Amigos de la Tierra de América Latina y el Caribe (ATALC) condemns 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.
• The document argues that the killings of peasant, indigenous, and human rights defenders in Honduras are the result of structural causes, including a highly militarized environment involving military, police, private guards, and international police, creating a situation akin to a state of exception where murders occur with impunity.
• The statement identifies several systemic drivers of violence in Honduras, including unequal economic treaties, an impunity rate exceeding 90%, extreme militarization of state institutions, biodiversity destruction, and World Bank policies that favor large corporate consortia over the security and lives of local communities.
