DENUNCIAITON OF POLITICAL PRISONERS FROM COPINH, Interview with Bertha Cáceres from COPINH
Civil Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras - COPINH

Before national and international public opinion, the media, human rights organizations and the Honduran people,

We denounce:

1.- That since the 28th of June in Honduras we are living through a state of continuous and systematic violation of the human rights of people throughout the national territory

2.- That these practices of violation, repression and brutality used by the coup dictatorial regime have assaulted the physical and psychological well-being and multiple rights of the population which has led to a large quantity of people killed and wounded.

3.- In this context there have been detentions and false accusations against citizens and foreign citizens in order to discredit people who have no relation with criminal practices.

4.-In this moment the following citizens:

1. SANTOS REYNARDO GARCIA MONCADA (EL PARAISO)
2. JOE ORLANDO GARCIA MONCADA (EL PARAISO)
3. MARIA ANTOLINA GARCIA HERNANDES (EL PARAISO)
4. OSCAR JOAQUIN GARCIA MONCADA (EL PARAISO)
5. GLADYS ASUZENA LAGOS (EL PARAISO)
6. VICTOR ADOLFO IZAGUIRRE RAMOS (18 años) (EL PARAISO)
7. AGUSTINA FLORES LOPEZ (COPINH)
8. MARIO ENRIQUE MOLINA (TEGUCIGALPA)
9. ANTONIO PORTA ALVAREZ (ESPAÑOL)

have become political prisoners of the dictatorial regime impossed by Roberto Micheletti Bain and the authorities following his illegal command. These people were initially taken to several illegal detention centers and besides being brutally beaten have been accused amongst other things of sedition, a political crime established in the national national laws. There is no type of reliable evidence that sustains this accusation.

Because of this we demand the immediate freedom of our political prisoners.

We denounce, once again, the persecution and aggression carried out against the Honduran people by the dictatorial regime through its repressive bodies.

We demand before national and international opinion and its relevant organizations the immediate denunciation and action in favor of life, freedom and security of these persons and the people in general.

Tegucigalpa, 24th of September, 2009.
