Honduras: Rejection to Pardon Oppressors
Grows
TEGUCIGALPA - Leaders of the National Front
against the Coup reiterated their rejection
to the plan of the National Congress that
hopes to approve an amnesty for those people
responsible for the coup against President
Manuel Zelaya.
Leaders of the National Front described as
farce the decision of the district attorneyâ�Ös
office of indicting the highest ranking
officers in the armed forces for abuse of
authority and Zelayas' illegal expatriation.
The Front leader Rafael Alegria warned that
military men will be judge for minor crimes
and not for assassination, tortures and
other human rights violations.
More than 500 people should also be tried
for complicity, among then the attorneyâ�Ös
office, members of the parliament and
magistrates of the Supreme Court, according
to the also leader of "Via Campesina".
Nevertheless, the National Congress hopes to
close this issue next week by forgiving
those responsible for offences against
humanity during and after the coup.
This decision favors military men that expel
Zelaya of the country, said Juan Barahona,
coordinator general of the anti-coup
Resistance movement. |
