International Campaign Against the Coup
in Honduras |
|
 |
|
Pressured by the international community and in their
desperate efforts to cling to power, the de facto
government, the Armed Forces and the Police of Honduras
are stepping up their repressive actions, with an
escalation of violence that has left numerous protesters
wounded, arrested and even dead.
Among the wounded is Carlos Reyes, general secretary of
STIBYS, along with other leaders of this IUF affiliate,
and among those arrested is Juan Barahona, member of
SITRAINA, another IUF affiliate, and the leader of the
Anti-Coup Resistance Movement.
In view of this critical situation, we are asking you to
support our International Campaign to Restore Democracy
and Put an Immediate End to Violence in Honduras. |

Micheletti:

Mr.
Roberto Micheletti,
I am writing you to condemn
the escalation of repression
in Honduras by the Armed
Forces and the Police you
command, expressing my
absolute rejection of the
violence unleashed against
the people, who are
peacefully demonstrating
their opposition to the de
facto government.
I hold you personally
responsible for the
consequences of this
repression and for the
physical well-being of all
the Hondurans that are
participating in the
resistance, and in
particular that of our
fellow unionists Carlos H.
Reyes and other members of
STIBYS, and Juan Barahona
and the members of SITRAINA,
both organizations which are
IUF affiliates.
Moreover, I demand the
immediate restoration of the
democratic order in
Honduras, from which you
should have never departed.
Cc: Mr. José Miguel Insulza,
Secretary General of the
Organization of American
States |
