July 23, 2009 .- According to Enrique
Santiago, the NGO observer IEPALA (Institute of
Studies for Latin America and Africa) in order to excluiva
TerceraInformación, who is in Honduras on a
mission prepared a report on
human rights for international organizations such as
United Nations or the Inter-American Commission of
Human Rights, the commander Romeo Vasquez Velasquez
said that the only option is to kill Zelaya
when it comes to Honduras.

"Days before the coup was the president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, Romeo Vasquez Velasquez dismissed for refusing to distribute election materials to carry out the consultation exercise, fourth box that asked if people wanted to convene a constituent assembly.

According to the wife of Zelaya, Xiomara Castro Vasquez Velasquez was one of the main promoters of the coup and ordered the kidnapping and burglary of the house of Zelaya.

The observer of human rights in Honduras, Enrique Santiago said that "taking into account the responsible attitude of the protesters marching in favor of Zelaya a peaceful and nonviolent way along with the announcement made by the Honduran Army Commander Romeo Vasquez Velasquez , who has published that if President Zelaya comes into the country, the only option will be killed, would not be surprising that the events taking place these days are brutally suppressed by the Honduran armed forces. "

From the earliest days of the coup d'etat has denounced the mistreatment of political prisoners began to collapse prisons Honduras. The task of integrating human rights Enrique Santiago and was confirmed after visiting several prisons in the prisons visited, the conditions of people outside of international law on human rights "said Santiago.

Furthermore Enrique Santiago has also reported several acts being committed by the coup:


The threats are getting mayors, public officials and citizens belonging to the leftist Democratic Unification party.

The harassment of demonstrators by the paramilitaries, the army and navy Honduras.

In some cases, employers who tell the army to suppress non-violent when their actions against the dictatorship is against their interests.

Regarding the situation of the media Enrique Santiago has said that "there is a brutal blockade, all media, without exaggeration, disseminate information exclusively government coup. A very aggressive. Especially against the countries of ALBA and against anyone who defends democracy and constitutional order of Honduras. The few media outlets that attempt to issue different views on the coup, are immediately removed from the air and arrested its journalists. "

On the news that Uribe has met with the coup and has shown his sympathy, James believes that this news will be widely disseminated by the media pro-coup "to be favorable" and has commented that "President Uribe has been the only one who has not respected the embargo against the dictatorship in Honduras. "



For Santiago, the situation is catastrophic, "we have been able to verify with the help of Honduran human rights agencies that are violating the rights enshrined in the Honduran constitution, such as the right to expression, to freedom of movement, freedom, In addition to verifying being perpetrated serious atentandos to life with scores of deaths, arrests of opponents of the de facto regime, arrests of groups of foreign citizens, mainly Nicaraguans, the passivity of the government before the coup, including complicity in many cases of state institutions such as the National Prosecution Office or the Supreme Court. "

Also, human rights observers have been alerted about the outbreak of violent acts against the Venezuelan diplomatic mission that has received an ultimatum from the dictatorship of Roberto Micheletti to leave the country within 72 hours. Venezuelan diplomats not to recognize the de facto government responded that they will not heed the warning. Enrique Santiago has said that "the international gaze is careful to avoid attacks on diplomatic personnel in Honduras."

4. It is amazing how our corpo/fascist media, trumpeting fascist "talking points,"
can turn everything around to make it appear that Zelaya and Chavez are dictators, when these fascist thugs in Honduras are killing leftist activists, holding over a thousand political prisoners whose fate we can only guess at, bullying and threatening mayors and other political opposition figures, shooting out bus tires of peaceful groups of Zelaya supporters, open firing at peaceful demonstrators, with a black pall falling over the land of a silenced media--a black pall under which we have no idea what is going on--threats, beatings, torture, deaths, disappearances. Zelaya and Chavez are the opposite of these thugs. Chavez has dramatically increased public participation, enjoys widespread public support, and champions social justice. Opposition protesters freely hold rallies in Venezuela and are invited into the National Assembly. The press is raucous with criticism of Chavez and his government. The country has the healthiest political culture they have ever had--perhaps the healthiest and liveliest political culture in the western hemisphere. Zelaya, for his part, introduced mild reforms such as raising the minimum wage, and talked about more fundamental reform--badly needed in Honduras, a country with one of the biggest poverty rates in Latin America, run by an oligarchy of ten families, with the US-funded military enforcing their rule. They threatened to arrest him, and he is headed back into the country of which he is president, unafraid of their threats and their false charges.

The coupsters in Honduras--much like the rich elite in Venezuela--cannot win arguments by reason and fact; they can only think to maintain their power through covert plotting and getting infusions of millions of US taxpayer dollars to spew their "talking points" to whatever idiots will believe them. Both elites are egregiously anti-democratic. The first thing the Venezuelan elite did, in the 2002 coup, was to suspend the Constitution and all civil rights. That is exactly what the Honduran elite did. They can't function in a free society. And our rightwingers and their echo chamber media call Chavez and Zelaya dictators?! It boggles the mind.

We really are living in "Alice in Wonderland" (if we live in the media).
