For Immediate Release

Honduran Crises Deepens *-** We Are All Honduras

The Honduran crisis continues. The de facto government of Roberto Micheletti, installed by a military coup on June 28th, is threatening to invade the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa to seize the elected president of Honduras, Manual Zelaya Rosales who has been given sanctuary by the Brazilian government.
*
On September 27th, Micheletti announced that the Brazilian government has 10 days to surrender Zelaya or he will send in troops. Meanwhile the Honduran military and police are using chemical weapons, high decibel audio weapons and tear and pepper gas against the embassy, endangering the health and lives of its occupants and of the people who live in the surrounding buildings.
*
On September 27th the Micheletti government also signed a decree revoking the constitutional right to freedom of expression and expression in the country. On September 28 at 5am the coup government sent troops to shut down radio and television channels critical of the military coup (Radio Globo and Channel 36).** Despite the arbitrary arrests, violence and repression, the protests continue to grow and the crises deepens daily.
*
Join La Voz de los de Abajo, Casa Morazan, and other concerned organizations in Chicago in an act of solidarity with the Honduran people and in defense of Brazilian solidarity with democracy in Honduras.
