According to Victoria Cervantes, member of the Honduras Solidarity Network and the Alliance for Global Justice Board of Directors, “Edwin Espinal Robelo is a well-known activist since the 2009 coup; part of the motorcycle riders that have escorted all the protests since then and a community organizer activist in his neighborhood in Tegucigalpa. His fiancée, Wendy Avila was killed by the massive tear gas attack against protesters supporting President Zelaya’s return to Honduras in front of the Brazilian Embassy in September 2009. He has been harassed, detained, threatened, had his home arbitrarily searched, and been the target of numerous social media slanderous campaigns organized by the government and its hired trolls.” Send an email to Honduran authorities and the US Embassy to demand justice for Edwin Espinal Robelo!
