Socrates Coelho, dirigente syndicalista del CUTH en Honduras habla con radio communitario en Australio sobre lo que ocurre en Honduras, la noche 22 - 23 de Septiembre. Milles de manifestantes estan siendo agredido por la policia y militares y paramilitares para su mero apoyo al Presidente Zelaya que esta en la Embajada Brasilena, rodeado por los militares del gobierno de-facto de Micheletti.

El pueblo han rechazado la fuerte represion y mientras hablaba con Socrates el pueblo montaba una verdardera insurreccion, desafiando el toque de queda impuesto por el regimen golpista, a pesar de muertos y heridos. Como dijo Socrates, el pueblo no tiene miedo de las reacciones desesperados de los golpistas.

Honduras and Resistance - Grahame Russel from Action Rights

(Note: a problem with the line caused sound to fade in and out quite dramatically during the interview. This was mitigated to some extent during editing, but the end result is a little patchy. If you are thinking of rebroadcasting, please take this into account - WF).

Grahame Russel from Action Rights has just returned to his home in the northern USA after two weeks in Honduras as an observer. Graham is a human rights lawyer and has been following the coup in Honduras closely, ever since he witnessed the events of late June and early July. In this report he describes the massive march in protest against the coup regime on September 15, a day when Honduras traditionally celebrates its independence from Spain.

Graham provides an analysis of the strengths of the Resistance Front, and the implications of the boycott of the elections proposed by the coup regime for November 29.

Honduras and the Resistance Front - Ricardo Salgado from Honduras

Ricardo Salgado in Honduras describes how almost half the population of Honduras turned out on the streets on September 15 (Independence Day) in protest against the coup regime of Micheletti, who still insists on holding elections on November 29, in spite of popular outrage and a proposed boycott.

The evolution of the Resistance Front, its' political development, and goals that now go far beyond the simple return and reinstatement of exiled President 'Mel Zelaya' is unprecedented in Honduras' history, and the sustained popular resistance - now past its' 80th day, unprecedented anywhere.

Ricardo Salgado Honduran researcher talks about the 77th day of popular resistance to the coup regime in Honduras, and the impossibility of a fair election there on October 29. The coup regime is starting to come apart at the seams, while the Resistance Front is growing in strength, motivation, objectives, and organisational skills. This in spite of more selective techniques of intimidation and elimination by paramilitary 'death squads'.
