Nederlandse jongeren beschoten in Honduras
door onze verslaggevers
UTRECHT - Vier Nederlandse jongeren en hun begeleiders zijn dinsdag in
Honduras het slachtoffer geworden van een gewelddadige gewapende roofoveral.
De slachtoffers maakten deel uit van een groep van twaalf Nederlandse
jongeren van 16 tot 25 jaar oud, die in het Zuid-Amerikaanse land op
studiereis waren. De uitwisseling in het kader van ontwikkelingswerk werd
georganiseerd door het ICCO uit Utrecht, Kerkinactie en de afdeling
jeugdwerk van de Protestantse Kerk in Nederland. De overval vond plaats toen
de jongeren en hun begeleiders dinsdag in drie teams vertrokken voor een
zogenoemd veldbezoek. Een van de teams werd in de plaats San Lorenzo door
bandieten overvallen. De gangsters schoten op de twee auto's van het
gezelschap, waarbij een wagen van de weg raakte.
Geschopt
De inzittenden bleven ongedeerd en konden uit de auto kruipen, maar werden
vervolgens bedreigd en beroofd. Daarbij gingen de overvallers grof te werk.
De jongeren en hun begeleiders werden geslagen en geschopt en de bandieten
gingen bovenop ze zitten. Twee meisjes werden aangerand, twee slachtoffers
moesten voor korte tijd naar het ziekenhuis. Ook de anderen werden later
medisch onderzocht.
Oorspronkelijk zouden de Nederlanders op 5 augustus terugkeren uit Honduras,
maar door de overval is de studiereis gisteren per direct afgebroken.
Barbara Bosma van het ICCO zegt: ,,De groep gaat vanavond (donderdag) terug
naar Nederland, ze worden tot het vliegtuig beschermd door onze plaatselijke
zusterorganisatie. Er is nu geen gevaar meer, maar de jongeren zijn erg
aangeslagen en bang."
Hi,
I did study in the Netherlands many years ago. I will try to translate as
best I can on the top of my head....
Dutch youth shoot by eleven attackers
Four dutch youth and their escorts became the victims of a violent, armed

The victims were part of a group of twelve dutch youth between the ages of

of this group was organized and sponsored by the ICCO out of Utrecht, church

Netherlands. On Tuesday the group was devided into three smaler group going
on different fieldtrips. The attack on the above mentioned group took place
in San Leandro. The gangsters shot at the two car of the group, whereby one
car ran of the road.
The passengers of the car could get out the car unharmned, but where
followed, attacked and robbed. Doing this the attackers got ruff. The youth
