The situation in Honduras remains extremely tense following the
June 28 military coup by graduates of the School of the Americas
(SOA/ WHINSEC). For the last six days, SOA Watch has been in constant
communication with pro-democracy organizers in Honduras. We are
pressuring the State Department and the White House with street
protests and an online actions to ensure the unconditional reinstatement
of President Zeleya.
However, the calls from our partners in Honduras have made it clear
to us that we need to go a step further. SOA Watch has decided to
join the Honduran social movements on the ground. A small SOA Watch
delegation is going to meet with members of the National Resistance
Committee tomorrow and will join them in the streets.
SOA Watch's Latin America Coordinator Lisa Sullivan, the former SOA
Watch Prisoners of Conscience Laura Slattery and Father Joe Mulligan,
SOA Watch activist Kent Spriggs and others are currently on their
way to Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
The resistance to the military coup that is taking place right now
in Honduras is a Honduran struggle and a struggle of the Americas,
at the same time. The outcome will affect all of us for years to
come. International accompaniment can have a big impact and save
lives.
