Rights Action has issued a call to action to protest Stephen Harper's visit to Honduras this Friday:
"The visit of Prime Minister Harper to Honduras will be the first by a foreign leader since Honduras was re-admitted into the Organization of American States (OAS), in a controversial decision in June of this year (given the on-going repression and the fundamental lack of democracy) and follows upon the May 2011 'Honduras is Open for Business' conference organized by the country's economic elites in an effort to attract foreign investments."
"Harper's visit makes a clear and dismal statement about Canada's real interests in Honduras that have nothing to do with the promotion and defense of human rights and democracy...."
