Honduran Security Forces Fire Tear Gas & Water Cannons at Protesters
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Latin America, Honduran security forces fired water cannons
and tear gas at protesters Thursday in the Honduran capital of
Tegucigalpa. The protest was led by COPINH, the Civic Council of Popular
and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras. The leader of COPINH, Berta
Cáceres, was assassinated in March. Thursday's protest came just days
after two Honduran campesino leaders were also assassinated.
