Report from Land Occupations in Post-Coup Honduras

Poor farmers are taking more and more land from agribusiness that supported the 2009 military coup, and paying with their lives.

It's been more than 20 months since a military coup shook the Central American country of Honduras to it's core. The aftermath has seen a decades old land conflict reach deadly heights as poor farmers occupy agribusiness-owned land, and are often found dead soon after.

In previous years, the farmers would be on their own, but the coup gave rise to a broad resistance movement of which the campesinos are a key sector.

Honduras: Students Defend Occupied National University

Raw Footage/Material Crudo

***Español Más Abajo***

March 30, 2011 was a national day of action in Honduras as teachers, students, and members of the National People's Resistance Front took part in a third week of actions against the privatization of education. Students of the National Autonomous University in the capital of Tegucigalpa occupied the campus and the surrounding streets. They were then attacked by riot squads launching tear gas and rocks, and by two tanks that fire water mixed with pepper spray. The police entered the campus grounds from a back entrance before being repelled by hundreds students throwing rocks.

It marked the second time in one week that the police entered the university, breaking a Honduran law that prohibits the presence of police or military on Honduran university campuses.
