In Honduras, dozens of journalists clashed with soldiers outside the presidential palace in Tegucigalpa on Tuesday in a protest against a wave of killings targeting Honduran reporters. Soldiers threw tear gas at the journalists as they tried to enter the palace. Around two dozen journalists have been killed in Honduras since 2007, most of them since the June 2009 ouster of then-president Manuel Zelaya.
Honduran journalist Wendy Funez: “We came to ask for justice for 24 journalists that have been killed since 2003. We have read the stories of many colleagues who have been killed with clear signs of summary execution, which have been denounced by some human rights organizations.”
