Spanish Judge
Does Not Approve Rupture Of
Constitutional Order In Honduras
Tegucigalpa - Spanish
judge Baltazar Garzon said on Tuesday that
he does not agree with anything that appears
to be a rupture in constitutional order
caused by the June 28 coup in Honduras.
Garzon, who arrived here on Sunday night to
investigate the human rights situation in
Honduras after the coup, is a judge
currently seated on the Criminal Court of
Spain.
In 1998, he issued an international warrant
for the arrest of former Chilean President
Augusto Pinochet for alleged torture and
killing of Spanish citizens during his
tenure.
"At this point of the history, it is an
absolute anachronism to find a violent
solution to issues that can be solved
through dialogue and understanding in
democracy", Garzon told a forum on human
rights.
"That is the argument that makes me be
against this coup", he added.
The Spanish judge said that it is a personal
and moral obligation for him to show support
and solidarity with those people who suffer
the violation of human rights.
The forum was organized by the Center of
Research and Promotion of Human Rights and
the Family Committee of Victims of
Disappearance in Honduras.
