[HNA] CODEH demands investigation of Coup leaders

[Sergio Reyes]

PRESS RELEASE







TEGUCIGALPA: November 5, 2009 -- The president of the Committee for
the Defense of Human Rights in Honduras (CODEH), Andres Pavon, formally
requested that the Public Defender's office undertake legal proceedings
and criminal investigations against Roberto Micheletti Bain, de facto
regime president, as well as General Romeo Vasquez Velasquez, head of
the joint chiefs of staff, and a host of other coup regime leaders, for
the crimes of torture, crimes against public health and freedom of
movement, and for other illegal activities undertaken as part of the
sustained police and military operations that have been in effect at
the Brazilian Embassy since democratically-elected president Manual
“Mel” Zelaya arrived there last September 21, 2009.







CODEH also believes that investigations for crimes of omission
should be undertaken in the cases of the Human Rights Comissioner,
Ramon Custodio Lopez, as well as the Attorney General Luis Alberto
Rubi, since protecting citizens from torture is the responsibility of
the Human Rights Commission and the Criminal Investigation unit of the
Attorney General.
