Complaint lodged with US federal court claims World Bank’s private sector lending arm is ‘knowingly profiting from the financing of murder’

The 132-page legal complaint says the plaintiffs are seeking compensation for “murders, torture, assault, battery, trespass, unjust enrichment and other acts of aggression”. Ultimately, it says, the case is about World Bank entities “knowingly profiting from the financing of murder”.

The document describes decades of violence but focuses on the period since 2010, seeking damages for several specific deaths and what ERI attorneys described as a “pattern of attacks that is ongoing”.

[...] The goal of the violence, they claimed, has been “to intimidate farmers from asserting competing rights to land that Dinant has sought to control”.

According to campesino organizations, at least 150 rural activists have been killed so far in the area, as a result of fighting for their land rights.

José Ángel Flores, president of the Movimiento Unificado Campesino del Aguán (MUCA, United Peasant Movement of the Aguán) was assassinated yesterday. Silmer Dionosio George, another MUCA leader, was also killed.

After the 2009 coup d'état crushed any hopes of agrarian reform, MUCA emerged as the leading force to push for economic justice and a reversal of decades of land grabbing by Honduran élites. MUCA has since suffered a wave of repression that has left over 200 members dead. The landlords and oligarchs behind the violence are enjoying the impunity afforded to them by the coup regime. Indigenous, afro-indigenous, and any moderately leftist lawyers, journalists, and activists have suffered similar repression, from arbitrary detention to death threats to assassination.

If you’re following the US election, we’d just like to remind you that while talking about the coup she supported and the ensuing repression (which she refuses to acknowledge), Hillary Clinton said "I think that was better for the Honduran people" (NY Daily News, 11 April 2016).

A former Dinant Corporation contractor has been caught transporting drugs. While this link to Dinant is quite thin, it’s worth remembering that: 

In a March 19th, 2004 cable published by Wikileaks, US Ambassador to Honduras Larry Palmer outlines an incident in which a drug plane carrying 1,000 kilos of cocaine originating from Colombia, landed on the Farallones property of Dinant Corporation's Executive President, Miguel Facussé (now deceased). The cable reports that "Facusse's property is heavily guarded and the prospect that individuals were able to access the property and, without authorization, use the airstrip is questionable. In addition, Facusse's report obviously contradicts other information received from the law enforcement source ..."

Dinant is of course the corporation at the heart of Bajo Aguan land conflict. The company is accused of land grabbing and several human rights abuses, including targeted assassinations, of campesinos involved in the ensuing conflict. The campeinsos have also accused Dinant of drug trafficking before, but, as Karen Spring writes,

Its difficult to see drug trafficking busts in Honduras as 'successful' operations. Many Hondurans and international observers see drug war efforts as cherry-picking - nailing some drug traffickers and cartels while leaving others fully operative, if not empowered by the elimination of the competition. The War on Drugs and militarization has grave consequences for Honduran communities, particularly as it is used as a pretext to target and criminalize indigenous populations and communities that defend their natural resources and territories.
