16 journalists have been murdered in Honduras since 2010, the most in the region besides Mexico. The United Nations on Wednesday formally launched a probe of abuses of freedom of the press in Honduras that have mounted since a 2009 coup in the Central American nation. UN rapporteur Frank de La Rue is leading the investigation of abuses that include 16 murders of journalists just since 2010. We are very pleased to announce an upcoming training opportunity for people qualified and interested in doing volunteer international human rights accompaniment work with the Honduras Accompaniment Project / Proyecto de Acompañamiento internacional en Honduras (PROAH).
