Post-Election Violence in Honduras Driven By US-Trained Forces

Post-election violence in Honduras continues with new reports of US-trained Special forces targeting protesters in nighttime raids. As Hondurans keep protesting their illegitimate election results and the US-backed government keeps repressing them, we’ll turn to Jose Artiga, a member of an Emergency Faith delegation who just returned from San Pedro Sula. Then, political prisoner and award winning journalist Mumia Abu Jamal reflects on the Parkland shooting in a new commentary. And finally, long-time privacy and civil rights advocate and activist Shahid Buttar joins us. This time instead of discussing the latest government infraction he’ll tell us why he has decided to challenge Nancy Pelosi in the California primary this June and run as a candidate for the state’s 12th district representing San Francisco.
