Melbourne - Solidarity Action with Honduras

Solidarity Action with Honduras

In the early hours of Sep 21 the legitimate President of Honduras Manuel Zelaya returned to the capital Tegucigalpa after nearly 3 months in political exile. He is within the grounds of the Brazilian Embassy whilst tens of thousands of supporters have gathered outside to welcome his return. The defacto regime of Roberto Micheletti has imposed a curfew and sent in the military to repress the population. It is estimated that thousands have been arrested and or injured in violent confrontations. Show your support for the people of Honduras and attend the protest.

We call on the Australian government to immediately condemn the defacto regime of Roberto Micheletti and help in the International campaign to reinstate Manuel Zelaya as the legitimate President of Honduras

We call on the Australian government to immediately condemn the defacto government of Roberto Micheletti and work closely with other countries to ensure the restoration of the legitimate President of Honduras Manuel Zelaya.

"The coup regime is defying the world...The international community wants a negotiated peaceful settlement but the answer has been violence and repression against the people." Manuel Zelaya
