Severe repression against Honduran people resisting against Dictatorship and electoral fraud

Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) condemns the use of police and military force by the Honduran government to suppress protests against electoral fraud and the re-election of Juan Orlando Hernández. The statement reports deaths in Tegucigalpa and La Ceiba, calls for an internationally supervised recount of ballots, and criticizes the role of US military intervention and transnational capital in supporting the administration.

• Honduran police and military officers, acting under orders from President Juan Orlando Hernández, have carried out attacks during demonstrations protesting electoral fraud and the 'Dictatorship', with violence concentrated in poor areas and neighborhoods across the country.
• Specific casualties resulting from the repression include the murder of a child in the El Pedregal community of Tegucigalpa and the murder of an adult in La Ceiba, Atlántida department.
• ATALC demands that the Supreme Electoral Court of Honduras postpone the announcement of an election winner until an internationally supervised recount of ballots is conducted, including those flagged for auditing due to irregularities.
