Rights Action sends this overdue update on the visionary, courageous work of OFRANEH that Rights Action has funded and supported since 1998. Since 1979, OFRANEH (Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras) has been at the forefront of defending Garifuna land, territory and rights against ethnocidal violence and land theft carried out over decades by mainly corrupt, repressive ‘open for global business’ governments in power and international tourism investors, African palm producers, the mining industry and narco-trafficking.
