Tegucigalpa, Honduras
August 21, 2011
Death squads continue selectively assassinating the leaders of the campesino movement of the Aguán. Tonight at around 8pm, along with his wife Irene Licona, the vice-president of the Unified Movement of Campesinos of the Aguán (MUCA), Mr. Pedro Salgado was murdered. Salgado was also president of the La Concepción settlement, where the residents had been settled following the signing of the April, 2010 agreement between MUCA and the government. In this settlement there were 5 campesino groups; Mr. Salgado was president of the "January 5th" group.
The mercenaries went to his house in the community of Concepción, in the municipality of Tocoa.
From the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in Honduras (CODEH), we continue to report on the situation of permanent threat against the lives of campesino leaders of the Aguán, as well as members of the organizations that make up the movement to reclaim agricultural land in the region.
