Honduras – Jesuits Denounce Government Abuses in Honduras
The Jesuits in Honduras are
denouncing the Honduran government’s repression of protests over the past two
months. The protests have been triggered by the government’s privatization
initiatives. Honduran security forces have killed and wounded teachers, students,
health care workers and other Honduran citizens demonstrating to protect the
health and education systems. “We deplore the social and political crisis
experienced by the Honduran population as a result of the historic violation of
fundamental rights and the deterioration of the rule of law, which are a result
of the erratic and corrupt practices of politicians and decision-makers in the
public administration,” the Jesuits wrote in a statement
on behalf of all their apostolic works in the country.
