2. They torture and they assassinate follower of Zelaya that was stopped by authorities de facto

Speaking of systematic rights violations in Honduras, the golpistas have brought back the death squads:

Torturan y asesinan a seguidor de Zelaya que fue detenido por autoridades de facto

El cadáver de un manifestante que apoyaba al presidente legítimo de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, que fue detenido este viernes mientras se encontraba en la zona de El Paraíso, fue encontrado este sábado con señales de tortura en el sector de Alauca, limítrofe con Nicaragua, informaron vecinos de la zona.

La corresponsal de teleSUR en Nicaragua, Adriava Sívori, reportó que "amaneció su cuerpo hoy tirado en medio de la calle", y que fue identificado por su nombre, Pedro Ezequiel, quien presentó evidencias de torturas en sus manos, heridas en el rostro y otras lesiones en varias partes de su cuerpo, luego que fuera detenido por las autoridades hondureñas.

Uno de los pobladores de El Paraíso declaró que Pedro Ezequiel fue detenido por policías y militares, bajo el argumento de que estaba "fumando marihuana", mientras en el sector fronterizo de Las Manos el presidente Zelaya ingresaba a su país.

Agregó que el cuerpo sin vida de Pedro Ezequiel fue encontrado este sábado en un terreno baldío, a pocos metros de la carretera que lleva hacia la frontera con Nicaragua y de uno de los retenes militares que impiden la circulación en el departamento de El Paraíso, por un toque de queda que fue adelantado por el gobierno de facto presidido por Roberto Micheletti, desde las 06.00 horas locales (12.00 GMT).

Por su parte, el portavoz de la Policía, Orlin Cerrato, declaró a la agencia de noticias Efe que el "único" jóven que fue detenido este viernes en el sector de El Paraíso, es Gerson Evenor Vilches Almendárez, quien, según Cerrato, fue puesto en libertad hacia las 07.30 horas locales de hoy (13.30 GMT).

3. There are still people in the United States who have no idea these things already happened long ago.

They certainly won't know it's going on in Honduras, either.

The people who know of this man's life and presence will always remember him. Good people are irreplaceable. The fact he risked himself to stand up for his beliefs by making that effort to present himself physically to support his President, considering the threat from his murderous coup government, is far more courageous than anything his right-wing torturers can ever do in the rest of their filthy lives.

The right-wing can never win legitimately. We all know that. This is their manner of succeeding.

5. Let me take a guess: you believe the Contras were freedom-fighters, don't you?

How many autopsies were carried out by people tortured by US? zero!



Doesn't look like he is taking a nap.

7. People get killed for all sorts of reasons

Drug dealing gone awry, infidelity, armed robbery etc. etc. etc.

I know you like to work yourself up in a lather over such events, but immediately presuming this death was an act of the Honduran government before any investigation is emotional fear-mongering.
