Reply #2: "Orellana is the fifth journalist killed in Honduras since March 1" [View All]

[rabs]

Sloppy bookkeeping by The Associated Press reporter.

Suspected it was more and a quick google check yields SEVEN Honduran journalists assassinated since March 1; EIGHT since gorilobo took over from goriletti in January.

Not a single assassination has been solved.

17 Feb. -- Nicolas Asfura
1 March -- Jose Ochoa (was with journalist Karol Cabrera who was wounded.)
11 March -- David Meza
14 March -- Nahum Palacios Arteaga
26 March -- Jose Bayardo Mairena
26 March -- Manuel Juarez
14 April -- Luis Antonio Chavez
17 April -- Georgino Orellana

Why this is happening is a mystery but a gorilobo official has said that investigations have determined that the killings are NOT related to the profession of journalism. He said it was "personal reasons."

The Honduran Journalists' Association is not buying that at all and had called for congressional hearings.
