Hondurans Announce National Rally against Repression
Political and people's organizations opposed to the current Honduran government announced for Thursday a national march in this capital demanding the end of repression in the country.
The rally will coincide with a general strike and a national mourning campaign convened by teachers' organizations after Professor Jose Manuel Flores was killed by hooded men two days ago.
The demonstration was called by the National Popular Resistance Front, leading the country's social struggles after the June 28 military coup that overthrown President Manuel Zelaya.
One of the protestors' exigencies is to allow the statesman's honorary and secure return. He was expatriate by soldiers in the June military coup.
Zelaya returned unexpectedly to Honduras on September 21, and took refuge in the Brazil embassy in this capital until he could travel to Dominican Republic on January 27, at the end of his legal mandate.
The Front announced in a release it is in mourning after the death of Flores, an active people's leader and founder of the Central American Socialist Party.
The alliance of social and political forces accuses "the Honduran oligarchy and Porfirio Lobo's facto regime" of that murder. Lobo took office on January 27.
Three union leaders, two farmers, a journalist, and three people opposed to the June 28 military coup have been murdered in Honduras this year.
