Representative Schakowsky and Senator Markey Lead Call for Accountability in US Support for Honduras Government

In a letter to President Trump signed by 50 House and Senate colleagues, Rep. Schakowsky and Senator Markey led a call to the US government for accountability in its support for the Honduran government in light of growing threats against human rights defenders, journalists and international observers in Honduras.
