HRW: Attacks Increasing Against Honduran Coup Opponents
-------------------------------------------------------



In Honduras, Human Rights Watch is warning of ongoing attacks against
opponents of the coup that overthrew then-President Manuel Zelaya last
year. On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch said at least three people have
been killed and another eight jailed in what appear to be politically
motivated attacks over the past month. The majority of victims were
members of the National Popular Resistance Front, which opposed the coup
and boycotted the vote that elected Honduran President Porfirio Lobo.
