A young woman is shot in Iran in the protests after the elections. Horrific and tragic. The international press picks up the story, story and photo are printed and broadcast all over the world for weeks.

An adolescent boy riding his bike in Honduras shouts “golpista” at passing soldiers. They stop, get out of their vehicle, and shoot him dead. Horrific and tragic. No coverage in international press. Photo here:

A young woman was with her husband peacefully demonstrating against the coup outside the Embassy of Brazil in Tegucigalpa. Military attacked the crowd with tear gas but the woman, Wendy Elizabeth Avila, a law student, was asthmatic and she died of asphyxiation. Very little coverage in the international press.

Are these deaths in Honduras any less tragic than the one in Iran?

The coverage of the coup in Honduras can certainly serve as an example of…something…..

Very good article about this:
