Dems Urge Admin to Probe Honduran Abuses
----------------------------------------



Clinton’s comments come as a group of nine congressional Democrats have
written a letter urging her to “fully investigate reports of severe
human rights abuses in Honduras.” The Members of Congress say that the
US “must make it clear that the ongoing intimidation and persecution of
activists and dissidents is unacceptable.” This week, Human Rights Watch
warned attacks on anti-coup activists are increasing, with at least
three killings and eight jailings over the past month.
