Human Rights Minister Natalie Roque\u00a0shared\u00a0<\/a> on social media that, with orders from President\u00a0Xiomara Castro<\/a>, lawyers and officials from her office went to the Tierras del Padre community, located just south of the capital of Tegucigalpa, to stop the evictions, saying the suspension was in\u00a0accordance\u00a0<\/a> with the law and authorized by the state.`<\/p>\n

“We are not going to tolerate any aggression or blow against a pregnant woman or against a citizen or against a child,” presidential adviser Pedro Amador said on the scene,\u00a0 according to\u00a0<\/a> video circulated on social media<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Roque accused judicial officials who’d approved the evictions of continuing “in the power of the dictatorship.” As \u00a0Agence France-Presse\u00a0 reported\u00a0<\/a> last month, “four of the five judges in the court’s constitutional chamber were named to their posts by the previous Congress, which was dominated by the right-wing National Party of former president Juan Orlando Hernandez.”<\/p>\n

A statement from the country’s human rights ministry\u00a0 called\u00a0<\/a> the proposed expulsions\u2014performed at the behest of a businessman and land developer who claims ownership of the area\u2014a “clear violation of the human rights of over 100 families who live in the sector in an ancestral Lenca territory that dates from the year 1739.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
