  • Many human rights observers have talked about the increasing militarisation of Honduras, with military figures being given government positions as well as military being given increased powers and visibility. Military and police have also recently been given wage increases.<br />
<br />
Here members of the Honduran Navy charge a barricade raised by protestors against the inauguration of Juan Orlando Hernandez in Tegucigalpa. It seems strange using the Navy for riot duties, knowing that the nearest sea is around 150km from Tegucigalpa. Reportedly, every member of every armed force in the country has been brought out onto the street to contain protests.

  • Maria Jesús Medina Pineda, Ciudad Nueva, Marcala<br />
<br />
My mother died when I was five years old, we were ten brothers and sisters. We grew up, how could I tell you, it was a horrible thing. My father had already left the country because of political problems. Damned political parties. They wanted to kill him. We suffered a lot of hunger. The family disintegrated, some left, some died. I stayed with my older sister, she’s still alive, she’ll be 100 years old in September.<br />
<br />
I haven’t always lived here, I used to live near the Catholic church in Marcala. But because we toast coffee, the smoke polluted the air in the city, so we moved out here. I’m 80 and I work every day. That’s the secret to eternal youth, work hard and be honest, I have no ailments, I’m healthy. I had three children, one is in the United States. The boy manages the coffee factory. We prepare, toast and sell coffee in bags. We have been toasting coffee for 40 years, I was the first to do it. I began playing around with it, with plastic bags, I used to send the children out to the street to sell them, or to the neighbours, at three Colons a pound, at that time we used the Colon (Salvadorean currency), as we are near to the Salvadorean border. It’s an honest business, a healthy business. The father of my children died. I didn’t get married, I just had my children, with a military man, he was already married. I have a grandson who is a pilot and another who is a civil engineer and he’s in the United States, you can’t get work here, only if you are involved in politics you can get a job here.<br />
<br />
I fell madly in love with the military man, I was about 22 years old, I had my kids with him.<br />
<br />
With the business, I began in shocking poverty. We didn’t know what to do then. I worked as a secretary in the Junta Nacional. And I worked in the high command of the Army, from four until nine at night. I earned 225 Lempiras in the Junta, and 150 in the high command. I’d put aside 30 Lempiras for the c

  • A farmer gives water to his sheep in Tubas district in the northern part of the West Bank. <br />
<br />
Despite there being nearby wells that pump water into Israeli settlements, Palestinians are denied access to the water network here and have to buy all their water from tankers. This is roughly four times more expensive than buying water from the network, because of the cost of the tanker transport.<br />
<br />
This is Area C, which is completely under Israeli military control, no building is allowed - not one stone on top of another - and if buildings are erected they are quickly demolished by the Israeli military. Consequently, farmers are obliged to live in tents. This farmer made it clear that he is not a Bedouin, and didn't like being called a Bedouin as he is not from a nomadic tradition, he is a farmer who is not allowed to build farm buildings, have an irrigation system like his Israeli neighbours, or be connected to the water network.

  • Sylvia Denota, indigenous Lumad from Mindanao (centre)<br />
<br />
"I came here to Manila from Mindanao in 2017. We came because of Martial Law, the militarisation in our communities and our schools were closed, we had to evacuate and come here. <br />
<br />
I was in an evacuation centre [in Mindanao] with my parents since 2015, we still can’t go back home because of the militarisation, the area is closed, schools are closed.<br />
<br />
We were planning to go back in April, but the place is still full of soldiers, military, so we don’t know what will happen, we are afraid, but we want to go home.<br />
<br />
My parents are in the evacuation centre still. The military come and go as they please, they go into where you live without warning.<br />
<br />
Many people have been arrested, accused of being NPA, they are sometimes released after a couple of weeks, they have no evidence<br />
<br />
We invite people to visit, to see with their own eyes what is happening to us Lumads in Bukidnon."

  • Some of the riot police were wearing Israeli-made military equipment, and carrying Israeli-made weapons. It is said that many officials are trained as well as equipped by Israel under agreements with the Honduran government. Honduras recently ordered a large military craft to be built in Israel, and has been one of a very small number of countries to vote with Israel on Jerusalem being the Israeli capital.

  • Demonstration on Lumad rights, Manila, Phlippines. Interview with Kerlan Fenagal, Chair of PASAKA, the Confederation of Lumad Organisations in Southern Mindanao. <br />
<br />
"Indigenous peoples are 14% of the total Filipino population of 110 million, so 15 million or so indigenous people in the country. The Lumad are a large group, particularly in Mindanao.<br />
<br />
We are victims of the continuing, and intensifying, militarisation, specially now, we are under Martial Law in Mindanao. All over the Philippines we are facing the Oplan Kapayapaan, the counter-insurgency programme of the Duterte regime. We are facing attacks on our efforts to establish our Lumad schools, that provide education to the Lumad. Duterte says that the schools are training grounds, recruiting stations, for insurgents. They call us terrorists and communists, that’s how they tag us, but that is a pretext.<br />
<br />
The militarisation is to impose other policies, they have interests in our ancestral lands. They intensify attacks on our people and our culture because we defend our ancestral lands against mining, plunder, logging concessions, constructing mega-dams on our big rivers, like bulami river. They want to take our resources, they want to exploit our rainforests, the Pantaron Range. If you see the movie Avatar, that’s how you can imagine the Pantaron Range, it is rain forest. They are already mining there, going from medium scale to large scale, the government sell the mines to foreign companies. The region is rich in gold, copper, nickel and coal. They want our resources, they use the military and paramilitaries to get them...<br />

"We weren’t prepared for this. <br />
<br />
We believed in democratic process and the rule of law, we thought that future military actions would respect human rights. We were wrong.<br />
 <br />
There is a level of espionage and infiltration that we’ve never seen before, that you only get in countries that are at war, in countries in crisis. <br />
<br />
I’m obliged by my position to be positive, I’m here to raise hopes and be positive, but I can’t. We are in an undeclared civil war, where we’ve lost the hard-gotten gains of decades of campaigns, we’ve lost it."

  • Following hurricanes Eta and Iota, with widespread damage to housing and crops, a caravan of migrants set off from San Pedro Sula heading north to the US. Honduran authorities, at the behest of the US government, used police and military to block their movement and most were stopped and returned before even arriving at the Guatemala border. Some men went around the border post through the bush to get into Guatemala, but even some of those were quickly returned to Honduras. Migrants reported desperate and unattended situations they were fleeing from.

  • I’m Reina Isabal Calix, I’m a survivor of the massacre of Santa Clara and Horcones. The massacre happened on the 25 June 1975. There was a plan by landowners and military, Coronel Chinchilla. They confused work for the common good with work for communism. We were working for the common good. They prepared to crush us. We were a group of religious people, priests, farmers, women. We were struggling for agrarian reform. All we really wanted was for people to have enough land to plant food for themselves, to have their daily bread, for their children and families. We were united, teachers, poor farmers, young people, students, workers, priests. It was a big struggle, but they wanted to crush it. <br />
<br />
There was a Colombian priest here called Ivan Betancourt. There was also an American priest called Casimiro Zypher. They were both killed too, along with the campesinos and students. <br />
<br />
At that time, speaking about the common good, was like promoting communism. There was a plan, to destroy everything we were doing and slow down the agrarian reform. <br />
<br />
We had a shop, radiofonica school, they killed the person who ran it. We used to train carpenters and mechanics here.<br />
<br />
We planned a march, 5000 people came. They couldn’t stop it. But, the soldiers came in here using students as a cover, it was a trick. Three people died right here, in the centre. <br />
<br />
Others were taken to the prison. Father Casimiro died being tortured during interrogation. Later they took them to a farm, and most were killed there, they threw the bodies down a well. Fourteen people were killed.

  • Roxana Corrales, National Network of Women Defenders of Human Rights.<br />
<br />
"Our network is made up of women, we work on defence of our natural resources, that belong to everyone, and we work on reproductive and sexual rights.<br />
<br />
At the moment we are defending the rights of people to protest. We’ve seen aggressions against people demonstrating, who use their legitimate right to protest, they are shot at with teargas, and with live rounds, they are detained illegally. So, there is a strong need for accompaniment by human rights defenders, that’s why we’re here.<br />
<br />
Today for example, there was a cultural activity, a concert, in one of the neighbourhoods that has been heavily repressed. This artistic group decided to support the people of the neighbourhood with a presentation of music and poetry. The police and army have stopped the event. The police arrive and without exchanging words they beat people with batons, shoot teargas at them. So we try to mediate, and to document what happens. <br />
<br />
Today there were maybe 100 people who’d come to sing, but the Army, Cobra units [riot police], the Police and the Military Police arrived, around 300 of them, to disperse the people, to stop the singing and poetry. The people ran away, they are intimidated by the armed forces."

  • Sheyla Mungia Carrazco, journalist<br />
<br />
"Since December I started getting insults from the soldiers when they saw me reporting from demonstrations, and one of the military chiefs was saying things like ‘Sheyla, there’s lots of other jobs you could do, resign from this job, get another’. <br />
<br />
One day we saw the cameraman from another TV station being beaten by the soldiers, and they broke his camera. I told my cameraman to film it, the soldiers said that if we filmed it the same would happen to us. <br />
<br />
I went to report on the arrest of a protestor, one of many arrests I've tried to report on, I’ve been prevented from doing these interviews by the Army before. I didn’t have my cameraman with me, so I was filming it myself, and a soldier hit me with a baton and I dropped my microphone, when I bent to pick it up all the soldiers surrounded me and started groping and hitting me, there were about 30 soldiers, they all had balaclavas on. I’ve made official complaints about this, but the soldiers can’t be identified.<br />
<br />
My family tell me to leave this job, they’re afraid.<br />
<br />
The TV channel I work for, Prensa Libre, is now under a legal threat of losing ownership, it will probably go to an owner that favours the government. We’re the last channel giving opposition views in the region."

In a letter shared with the photographer, emergency room staff in the same hospital were instructed to make a special report of anyone with injuries related to tear gas, baton beatings or bullet wounds likely to have been inflicted by armed forces or police. <br />

Human rights groups are documenting many cases of people being taken from their homes by military units at night, after taking part in demonstrations. It is repeatedly claimed by victims and human rights groups that profiles of protestors adn opposition activists are provided to the authorities by their neighbours who work on government programmes like Vida Mejor (Better Life), and the presumption is that they are obliged to provide this information on their neighbours. Army then arrive at night and call opposition members out by their names and nicknames - and use force to gain entry if they don’t come out.

"I’m here because in Mindanao, because of martial law, the military are attacking our [Lumad] schools, they close our schools, they kill our parents and some of our students. We are here to tell people what is happening and what martial law in Mindanao looks like. <br />
<br />
Today is a special day because we could not expect that we would have a moving up ceremony, a graduation, because we expected that we would not ever have this because of the high militarisation of our communities. <br />

Here in the Bakwit (evacuee) School, half of the students have lost their parents or family members.<br />

We need solidarity from other countries. Can you help us? We need support to end Martial Law in Mindanao, to save our schools. We are being deprived of social services like education and health, but also of our ancestral lands."

The event took place inside several rings of military exclusion that extended for a kilometre from the stadium. A limited number of people were brought in, arriving on buses, and reportedly many were paid to attend, certainly many didn’t want their photograph taken. Animators in front of the stands instructed people when to cheer and wave the flags they were given. Later, videos circulated on social media of heaps of discarded National Party flags and of fights that broke out over the distribution of sandwiches that were promised to the people who attended.
