The Peace Brigades International-Honduras Project has posted on social media:
“Last week, we met with the CNTC El Progreso to discuss the alarming situation in the Bendición de Dios and 17 de Junio peasant communities, which are at risk of eviction. We expressed our concern about the recurring criminalization of land defenders in Honduras and reiterated that a comprehensive agrarian reform with a gender perspective is essential for the Honduran people’s right to land and food security.”
The CNTC refers to the National Union of Rural Workers. Peace Brigades International has accompanied the union since May 2018.
The CNTC is affiliated with the Unified Confederation of Honduran Workers (CUTH) which in turn is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), along with 150+ labour organizations including the Canadian Labour Congress.
We continue to follow this situation.
