Violation of Freedom in Honduras
Denounced
Santiago de Chile - The World
Association of Community Radios-Latin
America and Caribbean (AMARC-ALC) charged
that Honduras are suffering violation of the
rights to communication and freedom of
speech.
After condemning Honduran de facto regime
censure, it pointed out that "the situation
worsens through the complicity of the great
mass media that act in defense of the
interests of an illegal government."
As a result of his visit to Chile,
Constitutional President of Honduras Manuel
Zelaya, Maria Pia Matta, president of
AMARC-ALC told him that a delegation to
Tegucigalpa had just returned after
observing "the sever situation that affects
organizations of Honduran civilian
organizations, the media and freedom of
speech."
This organization as well as other NGOs such
as the Latin American Association of
Promotion Institutes (ALOP) prepared a
report offered to the Central American
president and that was directly broadcast to
community radio stations in Honduras.
Our organization has been carrying out
several initiatives of solidarity with the
Honduran people and demanding the immediate
restitution of democracy in Honduras that is
only possible with his return, it expressed
in a letter to Zelaya.
He also called to defend democracy and state
rights of Honduras and to act decidedly in
defense of the rights of the people, defend
freedom of speech by broadcasters,
journalists, social and citizen institutions
in general. |
