“After journalist Jorge Posadas, correspondent for the UneTV network, denounced death threats via WhatsApp, today [Nov. 2] the Association for Democracy and Human Rights (Asopodehu, by its Spanish acronym) called for protection for the journalist. The executive director of Asopodehu, Dina Meza, made an urgent call for help to [Honduran] President Xiomara Castro, to protect the journalist who works in Santa Rosa de Copán, western Honduras.
[...]
‘President, this week, they threatened to kill [Posadas’] children and wife. Last night, a vehicle without a license plate was monitoring him and followed him. Please act [...],' Meza said in her message.
Posadas has been the target of repeated threats since 2023, which is why he is a beneficiary of the Protection Mechanism where he is accompanied by Asopodehu. The threats tend to intensify depending on the subject he is covering, especially if it is about the environment, Posadas previously said."
