VIDEO PREMIER: "Honduras: A People in Resistance"

Oct. 28 marks the four-month anniversary of the military coup in Honduras. The illegal and criminal coup on June 28 deposed democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya, installed Roberto Micheletti as de facto president, and ushered in a wave of repression against the Honduran people.

With each passing day, the political situation in Honduras becomes more critical. Despite international condemnation, the Organization of American States discussion with the illegal golpistas are going nowhere. The U.S. government has done nothing to resolve the crisis, indirectly aiding the fraud regime. The coup masters are desperately buying time until elections in November.

It is urgent that the solidarity and anti-war movmeent escalate its opposition to the coup in order to help prevent more bloodshed. Already hundreds have been jailed, beaten and killed. News outlets that report on the resistance and oppose the coup have been shut down.

A defeat of the people's movement in Honduras would be a setback for the entire continent. It would have ramifications for the progressive and revolutionary movements in Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador. it would mean a victory for the U.S. neoliberal policies that have brought hardship to millions.

A national solidarity movement is urgently needed to support the Honduran people, the National Front in Resistance Against the Coup, and to support their demands for the restoration of President Zelaya and a Constitutional Assembly.
