Some reports via Twitter regarding demonstrations in Honduras today
http://twitter.com/SandraCuffeHN

this morning, military comandos ran over youth participating in demonstrations against the coup in CATACAMAS, Olancho. #Honduras #CrisisHN

la salida del norte a la altura del durazno ya esta tomado. #Honduras #CrisisHN

1. Interesting comments. Sounds as if there's a lot of movement.
Very bad news about the youth. This would be a good time for the soldiers to ask themselves if this is really what they want to be doing for their life's work.

3. The story about the military comandos running over 2 demonstrators was
in Al Giordano's article I posted earlier today. Here you go:

"Update 2:25 p.m. ET, 12:25 p.m. in Tegucigalpa: One hour ago, in the highway to Catacamas (in the eastern part of the map, above), a coup military convoy plowed forward over the peaceful blockaders and one of its trucks ran over two people, according to a live report right now on Radio Globo."

4. Funny. All Cubanet has is a story about someone practicing medicine w/o a license in Cuba.
Of course that's an "independent" doctor in exilio Miami/USA.

Nothing on the brutality in the coup run gulag of Honduras. Hmmm.

5. Just checked four resistance radio stations few minutes ago



Radio Globo -- music
Radio Liberada -- music
Radio Progresso -- silence
Radio Es de Lo Menos -- music

TV channel 36 had electricity cut off this morning.

We will have to depend on Twitters, I guess.

6. Curfew declared again tonight from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Friday


allows golpista thugs to keep searching for resistance leaders in dead of night, no witnesses.

(Info from golpista newspaper La Prensa of San Pedro Sula.)

7. That's an aspect people wouldn't anticipate: during curfews no one can move,
which means they're trapped where they are, while the military has complete freedom to track them down, or simply invade everyone's homes, while they are unable to escape.

Absolutely evil situation.
