The short explanation of this alert was:

Support Human Rights in Honduras!

Defending one's right to food and land should not be a death sentence. But, currently it is for our friend and ally, Rafael Alegria. Take action now and ensure that Rafael Alegria is protected, and not subjected to death threats, for defending the rights of campesinos in his home country of Honduras.

Rafael is a long-time leader of the international peasant movement, Via Campesina. In the last month, two campesino leaders have been murdered in Honduras and their deaths have still gone without investigation by the government.

This week, after submitting a high level report on land conflicts, commissioned by the government, Rafael began receiving death threats. It is imperative that we act now to ensure that the lives of campesino leaders in Honduras are protected from intimidation and violence.

Time is of the essence, so don't wait to make your voice heard. Take a stand and tell the Honduran Government to protect Rafael and human rights.
