\"Alive they were taken, alive we want them!\" is the demand one year after the forced disappearance of four activists. Alberth Centeno Tomas, Suami Mej\u00eda Garc\u00eda, Gerardo Rochez C\u00e1lix and Milton Mart\u00ednez \u00c1lvarez were deprived of their liberty on 18 June 2020 by individuals dressed as members of the Police Directorate of Investigations (DPI) in the indigenous Gar\u00edfuna community of Triunfo de la Cruz, located in the department of Atl\u00e1ntida, Municipality of Tela, Honduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These activists are members of the Honduran Black Fraternal Organization (Organizaci\u00f3n Fraternal Negra Hondure\u00f1a -OFRANEH) and the Honduran authorities have not given any details or clues as to their whereabouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OFRANEH is responsible for protecting the economic, social and cultural rights of the Garifuna communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human rights organization Global Exchange joins OFRANEH and the Committee for the Investigation and Search for the Disappeared of Triunfo de la Cruz -SUNLA, a word of Garifuna origin- \"to tell the families of the disappeared and the entire community of Triunfo de la Cruz that they are not alone\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, Global Exchange<\/a> demands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The search for Snider, Suami, Milton and Gerardo must continue. The Honduran State must investigate the circumstances that led to their disappearance and find their whereabouts.<\/li>
  2. Full support to OFRANEH and SUNLA in the struggle for justice and truth about the forced disappearances and the continued killings and criminalization of the Garifuna people in Honduras.<\/li>
  3. That the State of Honduras immediately execute the full sentences of Triunfo de la Cruz and Punta Piedra as ordered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Global Exchange is one of the many organizations that joins the demands of other international organizations such as Amnesty International, the United Nations, through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Honduras, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
