Comité por la Libre Expresión – C-Libre

Honduran journalist Fidelina Sandoval, of Globo TV, was the target of an attack just outside the TV station; she had recently reported on the purging of the police department and the murder of peasants in Bajo Aguan.

While journalist Carlos Augusto Lara Cruz was covering a confrontation between the Honduran military and some farmers, he was threatened and warned that he would meet the same fate as journalist Nahúm Palacios, who was killed in March 2010.

During a protest outside the presidential palace, some 30 men affiliated with the private transport sector attacked Globo TV journalist Cesar Silva and cameraman Samuel Aguilera.

After having received numerous death threats via email, journalist Juana Dolores Valenzuela Calix has told C-Libre that for the first time in her 30-year career, she fears for her life.

From his jail cell, Joaquin Molina Andrade, the man who tried to kill journalist Selvin Martínez on 11 June, continues to send death threats to the journalist and his family.

The Committee of Relatives of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras has made public text messages containing death threats against a journalist linked to the Aguan Unified Peasants’ Movement.

Eduardo Coto Barnica, a journalist for Radio Uno in San Pedro Sula, was approached by an individual who threatened him with what the journalist believes was a gun.

A spokesperson for a Honduran peasants’ association has been repeatedly harassed or detained, in apparent reprisal for his activism.
