New Protests in Honduras Despite Siege
Tegucigalpa - The
national front against the Coup in Honduras
announced on Thursday that new protests took
place in the capital of this country,
despite the 45-day state of siege, declared
by the de facto government.
In cities as San Pedro Sula and others,
demonstrations by the resistance also
continued, according to reports by leaders
of that extensive alliance of people forces.
After the police and the military closed
Radio Globo station and the television
channel 36 on Monday, reports about the
situation in the rest of the republic are
intermittent.
The television station will continue without
signal, but the radio station began to
broacast on the Internet, in an efort to
keep people informed, said Radio Globo
Director David Romero.
The Front reported that the long suspension
of constitutional rights has the intention
to confine the resistance members to their
houses, banning his daily marches.
In a press release on Monday, he said the
people was not afraid and would continue the
mobilization to demand restoration of the
country to democracy and President Manuel
Zelaya to power, and to call to a
constituent assembly.
We will continue. They want to demobilize
people, but they will not be able to,
national coordinator of the Front and union
leader Juan Barahona told Prensa Latina on
Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, members of the resistance
gathered outside Radio Globo station,
surrounded by army troops and riot police
that finally dispersed them with tear gas.
On Wednesday night, the opposition showed a
new way to express his repudiation to the de
facto government, making all kind of noises
for half an hour, starting at 10:00 pm
o'clock.
The idea of the "big racket" emerged in the
northern El Progreso city, in Yoro
department, explained journalist Felix
Molina, presenter of the Resistance, Front's
spokesman radio program. |
