Honduras Resiste: Solidarity Protests Held as Marchers Arrive in in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula
IMC-US, 16.08.2009
"Now we witness, in this twist of irony that is a drop of the lifeblood of history, that the actions of the golpistas not only fortify the popular will they aim to repress, they have set off an awakening in Honduras that no fleet, airforce infantry or death-squad will be capable of reversing." Read Full Speech by Simon Rios
On Tuesday, August 11, protests were held across the U.S. in solidarity with the Honduran resistance, more than 40 days after the democratically elected president was removed in a military coup. The events were organized in response to a call for a Global Day of Action by the National Front of Resistance Against the Coup and coincided with the culmination of a week-long march of farmers, women, indigenous people, teachers, unionists and ordinary Honduran citizens calling for the unconditional return of President Mel Zelaya. Demonstrators are calling on the Obama Administration and the US State Department to legally define the ousting as a military coup and initiate appropriate diplomatic sanctions against the perpetrators.
