Dozens of members of Honduras’ gay and lesbian community gathered outside the Attorney General’s Office in this capital to protest the slayings of 58 gays and lesbians this year.
The community wants to see “the murders solved and justice done,” spokesperson Jose Zambrano told reporters.
Human rights continue to be violated in Honduras, where “there is no respect for sexual diversity” and an absence of genuine democracy, Zambrano said.
Gays and lesbians in Honduras are daily subjected to harassment, discrimination, arbitrary arrest, torture and murder, the protesters said.
