Rejection of the prosecution of Yunior Oyuela and other Honduran students

Friends of the Earth International condemns the detention and prosecution of students from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras, including activist Yunior Alexander Oyuela, who were arrested on September 8, 2017, while protesting the privatization of public education. The organization characterizes these actions as part of a broader pattern of criminalization and systematic attacks against human rights defenders, indigenous, peasant, and Garifuna communities in Honduras.

• Students from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH), including Yunior Alexander Oyuela, were detained on September 8 in Tegucigalpa while exercising their right to peaceful protest against the privatization of public education.
• The prosecution of these activists is viewed as part of a systematic pattern of criminalization and a punitive police-military policy that has made Honduras one of the most dangerous countries in the region for defenders of human rights, territories, and the rights of indigenous, Garifuna, and peasant communities.
