Honduras: Letter on Opponent Attacks <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/04/world/americas/04briefs-Honduras.html> 
By ELISABETH MALKIN
 
Human Rights Watch said Wednesday that attacks on opponents of last year's coup in Honduras have continued since a newly elected government took office. In a letter to the Honduran attorney general, Luis Alberto Rubí, the human rights group said that three people had been killed and eight had been detained and attacked over the past month in what appeared to be politically motivated episodes. Most of the victims were members of the National Popular Resistance Front, a coalition of labor and other social groups that protested the coup. Human Rights Watch said that a unit of the attorney general's office was researching some of the cases, but said that investigators had "faced several obstacles in the past to investigate cases of alleged human rights abuses."
