This week's program looks at recent events in Honduras, including the 2009 coup, the 2012 killing of four villagers by a joint US-Honduran patrol at Ahuas,

and the March 2016 assassination of indigenous environmental campaigner Berta Caceres. The guests examine some of the underlying institutions and circumstances there, including the heavily militarized Honduran police, the US "drug war," and US willingness to use drug trafficking accusations to bring down critics of the country's ruling party.

Co-host Maria Robinson is with the Honduran Solidary Network in California.

Karen Spring is also with the Honduran Solidarity Network, and is based in Honduras.

Judy Ancel is president of the Cross-Border Network for Justice and Solidarity, based in Kansas City.
