Poor farmers are taking more and more land from agribusiness that supported the 2009 military coup, and paying with their lives.
It's been more than 20 months since a military coup shook the Central American country of Honduras to it's core. The aftermath has seen a decades old land conflict reach deadly heights as poor farmers occupy agribusiness-owned land, and are often found dead soon after.
In previous years, the farmers would be on their own, but the coup gave rise to a broad resistance movement of which the campesinos are a key sector.
