Potential Massacre In Northern Honduras Feared

Urgent Announcement

We make a call to the international community regarding the militarization and potential massacre in the valley of Aguán, Northern Honduras. Reports estimate that of over 5000 police and military from all over the country have arrived in the valley of Aguán. There are over 3,500 families with women, children and elderly people who since last year have reclaimed land that was stolen or forcefully removed by the businessmen Miguel Facusse, René Morales and Reynaldo Canales.

News is arriving from the Aguán valley that a curfew has been called by the Honduran Government. This is the preparation of an imminent and violent eviction from the repressive state and paramilitary forces who are under the orders of the Prime Minister Pepe Lobo but who are being commanded by the landowners Miguel Facusse, René Morales y Reynaldo Canales. These actions are being undertaken with the complete knowledge and support of the U.S Government which has US military operating in the area obtaining information and intelligence.
