Stop the Campaign of Terror Against Honduras' Garifuna People by the 
Coup Regime Confirmation

IN DEFENSE OF OFRANEH

The Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras OFRANEH, and Garifuna 
communities In Honduras are doing amazing work to build community to 
support one another, protect the environment, strengthen traditional 
healing practices, and use of natural medicines.
At the same time, the Honduran coup regime is using the Covid-19 crisis 
to increase its power through militarization, corruption, violence, and 
the criminalization of the population suffering from extreme levels of 
poverty and inequality.
