SETECH is trying to silence AJS-supported justice workers. Enough is enough!

Since AJS-supported justice workers began defending poor security guards' labor rights, they've endured threats, lawsuits, and have even been killed: labor-rights lawyer Dionisio Díaz was assassinated in December of 2006.

Honduran security company Seguridad Técnica de Honduras (SETECH) has reacted more negatively and aggressively than any of the dozen other companies whose guards AJS's Labor Rights project has worked with. For over five years, SETECH been trying to silence AJS-supported justice workers who simply ask for impoverished workers' basic rights to be respected. Now they're at it again. On Wednesday, February 24, AJS-supported justice workers will be taken to court because SETECH claims an ad run by these labor-rights advocates summarizing Ministry of Labor findings about the company's labor rights abuses constitutes slander.

Tell Honduran justice officials it's time for them to crack down on Honduras' worst labor-rights violators, and to stop facilitating harrassment of AJS-supported justice workers—who risk their lives to uphold the laws these officials are supposed to defend!
