Washington’s Invented Honduran Democracy
24 April, 2010 — Council on Hemispheric Affairs by COHA Staff Revised and amended version of COHA communiqué of April 22, 2010
President of Newspaper Guild Joins COHA in Expressing Their Extreme Concern Over the Ongoing Massacre of Honduran Journalists
Washington’s Faux Honduran Democracy has deceived very few in the Hemisphere, with News Journalists Paying the Heavy Price
- U.S. Newspaper Guild president blasts killing of seven Honduran journalists (COHA’s first and longtime chairman, the late Charles Perlik, Jr., also served as the president of the Newspaper Guild)
- With the wave of killings now besieging the Central American country, the White House needs to show that it’s willing to support democracy in Honduras
- It’s disappointing that the Obama administration’s position on Honduran policy has helped to create an environment for the sixth murder of a Honduran journalist in recent days, making the tiny Central American country the world’s murder capital when it comes to gunning down media professionals.
