Honduran construction workers building the new @usembassyhn are outside the current embassy right now asking @USAmbHonduras Laura Dogu to come out and address their grievances re:labor abuses by @StateDept contractor @BLHarbert.
There’s some Honduran media there- this is a reporter with @HCHTelevDigital. I’ll link to articles as they come out.
@HCHTelevDigital Sign held by protesting @BLHarbert worker reminds @USAmbHonduras/@Trabajohn "Art.79 of the [Honduran] constitution stipulates: All persons have the right to public assembly & peaceful demonstration relating to their common interests of any kind w/o special permit or notification"
Another video of @BLHarbert workers protesting right now across the street from @usembassyhn, getting lots of support from people driving by. That massive bldg behind them is the @USAIDHonduras headquarters.
Standing by this morning watching the @usembassyhn construction workers protesting labor abuses by @BLHarbert were men from @State_OBO in vests and Robert Wahl, the white-shirted USG operations coordinator known to the workers—in classic Prisión Verde fashion—as “Mr. Bob.”
