DAY 87 – HONDURAS-COUP-RESISTANCE = LIVE FIRE AND DEATHS IN TEGUCIGALPA / COUNTRY IN LOCK-DOWN September 22, 2009, 10:00am, est (8:00am, in Honduras) One can get up-to-the-moment information (when the regime is not cutting off broadcasting) from Honduran radio “Radio Globo” (http://www.radioglobohonduras.com/) and from the Telesur TV station (http://www.telesurtv.net/noticias/canal/senalenvivo.php). As we send this to our list-serv, there is live fire in the streets of Tegucigalpa. Special masked forces of the coup regime have completely surrounded the Brazilian embassy where President Zelaya is a guest of the Brazilian government. >From phone reports we have received from northern and western Honduras, all or most of the country is militarized. There is an all-day, all-night military curfew throughout the country. According to Telesur, allegedly 2 people have been killed and more wounded. One can see, in Telesur’s live streaming, that (masked) soldiers and police have the Brazilian embassy completely surrounded; one can see the army and police using brutal violence (live bullets, tear-gas, rubber bullets) against peaceful Honduran anti-coup protesters. It is suspected the forces are planning to use force to illegally enter the Brazilian embassy and detain President Zelaya.
