Rejection of the prosecution of Yunior Oyuela and other Honduran students

Friends of the Earth International issued a statement rejecting the prosecution of Yunior Alexander Oyuela and other students from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) following their detention during a peaceful protest in Tegucigalpa.

• Friends of the Earth International condemns the detention of Yunior Alexander Oyuela and other students of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) on September 8 and their subsequent prosecution on September 9 in Tegucigalpa. The organization asserts that the students were exercising their "legitimate right to peaceful protest" and that the prosecution is part of a broader pattern of "criminalization practices" and a "persecutory and punitive police-military policy" in Honduras.
• The document characterizes Honduras as one of the most dangerous countries in its region for defenders of human rights, territories, and the rights of urban, indigenous, peasant, and Garifuna communities. It claims that judicial oppression is being used to silence youth demanding structural changes and opposing the privatization of public education, which the text describes as a result of "neoliberalism imposed by Honduran public policy."
• Friends of the Earth International calls on the Honduran government to drop the prosecution of Yunior Alexander Oyuela and the other students. The organization seeks international solidarity and monitoring to end impunity and protect the human and collective rights of the people in Honduras.
