The terror of a police state has returned.
On Feb 24th, Claudia Larissa Brizuela, 36, was shot dead by masked assassins when answering her door in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. She was the daughter of the well-known social activist Pedro Brizuela, one of the leaders of the Honduras movement "Frente Nacional de Resistencia Popular" (FNRP) that also counted on Clarissa as an active member.
The assassination came the day before a large protest march by the FNRP in Honduras. It also came on Clarissa's 36th birthday. She leaves behind a husband and two sons, Said, 2, and Eduard, 8.
This is the third openly political assassination recorded in Honduras since new president Porfirio Lobo took power. The other victims, Vanessa Zepeda and Julio Fúnez, were also killed in similar style as Clarissa, the M.O being a small band of paramilitaries that used multiple shots to the head at close range.
