--------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Honduras, Amnesty International is calling for an
investigation into the death of 26-year-old nursing student Keyla
Martínez. She died in police custody on Saturday night after being
arrested for breaking a COVID-19 curfew. Police claimed she died by
suicide, but federal authorities are now investigating her death as a
murder. The Associated Press reports federal prosecutors have requested
seven police officers be turned over to investigators.
