 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup with People's Dispatch where we bring you some of the top stories from across the globe. Let's take a look at today's headlines. Honduran court convicts Roberto Castillo for the murder of activist Bertha Capiris. Attacks on arrest of pro-democracy protesters continue in Swaziland. Court adding crisis worsens in Indonesia amid oxygen and vaccine shortages and in a final story we take a look at the protests against the UK government's policing and crime bill. A court in Honduras has convicted Roberto David Castillo in the assassination of activist Bertha Capiris. Castillo is a US trained former intelligence officer. He was also the head of the energy company Deserollos Energeticos or DESA, the company held a contract to build the Agua Zarca dam on the sacred Gwal Kharki River. Bertha Capiris was an indigenous activist who had led the struggle against the project. The dam had been approved even though it did not comply with national international community guidelines. The project would have flooded surrounding areas and cut off food, medical and water supplies for the indigenous Lenca people. Castillo filed official complaints against the project and organized a blockade to prevent construction. She received years of threats for her participation in the struggle on March 2, 2016. Capiris was shot and killed inside her home in La Esperanza. Roberto Castillo has now been found guilty as a co-conspirator in her assassination. The High Court in Tegucigalca announced the verdict on July 5, after a 49-day trial. The court ruled that Castillo had used paid informants and military contracts to track carers. He also arranged the money to pay for the assassination. Castillo will now be sentenced on August 3. Seven other men have already been convicted and sentenced in the case. Meanwhile, the verdict has been welcomed by indigenous activists and rights groups. People have also renewed their demands for justice for other murdered activists in Honduras. Advocacy group Global Witness has recorded the killings of at least 40 land and environment defenders since 2016. In our next story, we'll look at the ongoing crackdown on Swaziland's pro-democracy uprising. By July 2, the political party's assembly had identified at least 43 protesters who had been killed. The identification process has been slowed down due to an internet blackout. Some activists have estimated that the death toll could be at least 70 according to the PPA. Around 1,000 people have also been injured. A majority of the casualties were reported on June 29 when security forces opened fire on hundreds of people. Protesters had set fire to properties, vehicles and businesses owned by King Maswati III. Starting July 1, protests were largely suspended after the army took over major parts of the country. However, security forces have continued to break into homes and attack people. The PPA has estimated that around 500 people have been arrested. The Communist Party of Swaziland reported on July 3 that at least 14 people had been injured. The incident took place in a market area in Mashubini. Two people later died due to injuries. The violence took place just a day before a delegation of the South Africa Development Community reached Swaziland. However, its members did not meet with any of the country's banned opposition parties. Moreover, the SADC's official statement has acknowledged the killing of only one protester. While the meeting was going on, two South African journalists who worked with the news website New Frame were detained and attacked near Madsafa. They were threatened at gunpoint and made to delete important footage. They were then taken to a nearby police station where they were beaten and suffocated with plastic bags. It was finally released on July 5. In our next story, we go to Indonesia, which is currently facing one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in Asia. The country recorded over 31,000 cases and 728 deaths in a 24-hour period as of July 6. Cases have increased by over four times within the span of a month. The spike has been largely attributed to the Delta variant. However, official numbers are considered to be severely underreported due to poor testing and tracing abilities. The sudden increase has pushed the country's healthcare system near collapse. 63 people died in Jawas-Sardijito Hospital between July 3 and 4. The hospital's oxygen supplies had nearly run out due to a sudden increase in patients. Over a dozen facilities in Surabaya city are now completely full. The government announced on Tuesday that hospitals in the capital of Jakarta were also at 90% capacity. Infections have spread to health workers while some have collapsed due to exhaustion. As per reports, nearly a thousand health workers have already died due to COVID-19. As infections continue to rise, the government has diverted all oxygen supplies to hospitals the country is receiving, emergency oxygen and concentrators from Singapore. The government is also trying to source more vaccines. The US has announced that it will send four million doses of the Moderna vaccine to Indonesia. The country has heavily relied on China's Sinovac and also received around five million doses through COVAX. As of now, only about 5% of Indonesia's over 270 million people have been fully vaccinated. And for our final story, we go to the UK where fresh protests against a policing bill were held on July 5. The police crime sentencing at the courts bill passed its final reading in the House of Commons on Monday. The legislation expands discretionary police powers including setting time and noise limits on protests. It will also extend stop-and-search powers and criminalise so-called unauthorised encampments. Activists have argued that these provisions will place more marginalised groups at more risk. The Liberal Democrat Party tabled several amendments to the bill during the parliament session on Monday. These were aimed at removing the restrictions on processions and protests. However, the amendment was defeated by a majority of 354 to 273 votes. Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters gathered at Parliament Square in London. Here is a video feature on Monday's demonstration. That is all the time we have for this episode of the International Daily Roundup. For more such stories and videos, visit our website, PeopleSysPatch.org.
