A well-known activist with the Resistance Front against the Coup of June 28 in Honduras, Claudia Brizuela, was shot at and assassinated today, Wednesday, February 24, in San Pedro Sula, north of country, this group denounced.

Today at 2:00 pm, unidentified people came to the Cleo Gonzles neighborhood, north of the city, knocked on Claudia Larissa Brizuelas (36 years old) door and shot her several times, killing her immediately, said a communique of the National Resistance Popular Front, as it goes by its new name.

Brizuela was Pedro Brizuelas daughter, ex-union member and one of the oldest militants with the Honduran Communist Party. Nowadays, he works with the Unified Democratic Party (UD) and is a columnist with La Prensa newspaper.

Pedro has manifested that the action was a message to him and members of the Front, and that it was a cowardly crime that shows the systematic aggression of terrorist groups and escalation of criminality taking place with the consent of the government, said the communique.

Honduran dictatorship, day 31 (http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2010/02/25/honduran-dictatorship-day-31/)

Just yesterday, FNRP supporter Claudia Larisa Brizuela Rodriguez was gunned down in her home in San Pedro Sula.

Her two young children, ages 2 and 8, witnessed their mothers murder.

Claudia was the daughter of high-profile Resistance leader and Radio Uno host, Pedro Brizeula.

It is believed that Claudias cowardly assassination is meant to intimidate not only the FNRP, but also the independent media. Radio Uno hosts, including Pedro Brizeula, have consistently denounced the abuses and corruption of the post-coup governments, and therefore have become a consistent target of threats.

Yesterday those threats became violent action.

Please join us in calling the State Departments Human Rights desk in order to demand that our government not continue to ignore systematic human rights violations.

Dial 202-647-4000 and ask for Human Rights Desk at the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
