Hondurans Demand Fight against
Impunity
The struggle against impunity
and violence are among the
demands organizations from
Honduran civilian societies
presented to President of the
Republic Manuel Zelaya in their
dialogues with him.
Meetings with about 80
organizations have been carried
out in the nation for the
forthcoming national event to be
celebrated in the next 45 days.
The organizations also demanded
that government support the
Transparency Act to confront
corruption, investigate human
rights violations and give
priority investment in childhood
as well as solving murders of
children and young people.
"The initiative involves the
willingness to struggle against
crime, but satisfaction will be
greater once criminals are
imprisoned," assured Committee
for the Defense of Human Rights
in Honduras president Andres
Pavon.
In the meeting, we noted the
lack of public policies and the
need to be clear about the
development of this country,
considered National Commissioner
of Human Rights Ramon Custodio.
Casa Alianza director Jose
Capellin requested government to
continue with the programs to
protect childhood by preventing
child labor and sexual
exploitation.
Committee of Relatives Detained
and Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH)
president Bertha Oliva urged the
president to order an inspection
of these cases of the 80s to
struggle against impunity.
