IN 2009, I was one of the co-founders of the Emergency Committee Against the Coup in Honduras and have tried to keep up to speed with developments and with the resistance movements there ever since. Despite the repression — including killings — the resistance has faced, it has continued.
Many of those opposing the coup regime may have felt vindicated when it was recently reported that US prosecutors have alleged in a major court case that the Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez was a co-conspirator in his brother’s cocaine trafficking ring.
Hernandez’s brother, Tony, was convicted in 2019 of trafficking huge cocaine shipments to the US, making use of his brother’s political connections. In the process, million-dollar bribes were allegedly used to finance Hernandez’s electoral campaigns.
