Honduras Repression vs. Teachers Intensify

Tegucigalpa - The National People''s Resistance Front (FNRP) in Honduras denounced the escalation of repression and violence against the education sector in the country.

"We are calling for actions of solidarity with the struggle of the Honduran people, which are currently experiencing in a serious situation of institutionalized violence and an increase in human rights violations," the FNRP stated in a release.

According to the text, social protests of the teachersâ�Ö union and the civil society in defense of public education have been suppressed by national police and armed forces.

This is the fifth consecutive week of crackdown on teachers' protests to demand better wages, respect for labor rights and the Teachersâ�Ö Statute and against the privatization of public education.

The crisis worsened when President Porfilio Lobo decreed a state of emergency in the national education system, exception for higher education.
