URGENT CALL TO INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC OPINION

Managua, 30 July 2009

Today July 30 since the early hours of the morning the combined forces 
of the Police and the Army have been carrying to most violent repression 
to date against unarmed protestors.  There are many injured people, some 
very severely, and other being pursued at this moment.

The soldiers have orders to repress journalists  and other civilians in 
the areas of conflict.

The state of barbarism continues, especially in the El Durazno part of 
the highway leaving Tegucigalpa toward the border with Nicaragua.

We need to activate urgent actions and denounce what is going on the 
Human Rights agencies, as peaceful protestors are being violently beaten 
at this very moment in various parts of Honduras.

They are launching tear gas  from helicopters and aircraft, and shooting 
rubber ad wooden bullets at the people.

Please send protest messages to the dictator: Roberto Micheletti: 
robertomicheletti at congreso.gob.hn with cc to the OAS to see if it's 
possible to give a bad conscience to  José Miguel Insulza: OASWeb at oas.org

Please, we must stop these actos of military violence against the 
people, to avoid more tragic outcomes as the military attacks the 
civilian population.
