Killing payback for port collective bargain fight
The father of Honduran trade union leader Victor Crespo has been murdered, the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) said .
Mr Crespo Snr died in hospital following an attack on he and other family members by an armed assailant who ran them down in a stolen car.
Mr Crespo Jnr had himself been threatened with death for trade union work in northern town Puerto Cortes.
Following a murder attempt in September 2013, he was evacuated to a third country to allow him to continue his work as president of the Syndicated Union of Dock Workers (SGTM).
The ITF said it appeared the same forces that wanted him dead then had targeted his father Victor Manuel Crespo Puerto.
