Denouncing Repression in Honduras Audio files and radio at http://albatv.org/
Today, Monday 29 June at 2.45pm in Honduras, the Armed Forces and National Police suppressed more than 50,000 protestors who were in front of the Casa de Gobierno (Government House) defending their democracy based on the rule of law. Faced with the coup d’état against President Manuel Zelaya Rosales, the protesters were demonstrating peacefully demanding the return of our President Zelaya because we are not willing to accept any post-coup government such as that of Micheleti.
The soldiers suppressed us with weapons and tear gas and due to this various people from the popular movement were injured. This action dispersed the protestors. The brutal repression by the Armed Forces of Honduras towards approximately 50.000 protestors with men and women being pushed back left 75 people injured, 3 dead and 30 arrest warrants issued. The situation for popular leaders is quite difficult as the coup government is repressive and shows no mercy with those of us who don’t accept the said government.
