Honduran Students Face Savage Repression and Death Threats

Students denounced the disguised but violent repression of their movement by armed and masked men.
Students from Honduras' National University of Agriculture denounced at a press conference Tuesday violence and threats against their movement as they maintained their three-day-long strike, occupying the university's facilities.
At the same time as the press conference, the students at the occupation were attacked by Honduran military and masked men who used bulldozers to attempt to forcibly remove the students, breaking down fences and leaving at least three students injured, reported teleSUR correspondent Gerardo Torres.
The strike followed the expulsion of 79 students after they demonstrated against the University's President and Honduras' Education Minister, Marlon Escoto, accusing him of protecting corrupt teachers.
