work for the full duration of the golpe.

*REPORTED USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS TO TRY AND FORCE PRESIDENT ZELAYA AND 85
SUPPORTERS OUT OF THE BRAZILIAN EMBASSY
*(September 25, 2009, Day 90 of coup resistance, Alert#73)

As reported at 10:30am today (September 25, 2009) on Honduran radio “Radio
Globo”, by the Honduran First Lady, Xiomara Castro de Zelaya, wife of
President Zelaya, it is strongly suspected that the illegal
military-oligarchic regime, headed by Roberto Micheletti and General Ramon
Vasquez Velasquez, is intentionally spraying chemical compounds and toxic
gases at and around the Brazilian embassy, resulting in serious illness to
87 people inside the embassy.

   - This appears to be an illegal use of illegal weapons against unarmed
   civilians,
   - Constituting a direct armed attack against the territory of Brazil.

Below, a translation of report sent by Luz Ernestina Garcia, that summarizes
what Honduran First Lady, Xiomara Castro de Zelaya reported on Radio Globo.

*CHEMICAL TERRORISM, DENOUNCES THE FIRST LADY*

Courageously, First Lady Xiomara de Zelaya went on the roof of the Brazilian
embassy to look at machines soldiers were using at 10:30am, from neighboring
houses, to spray toxic gases at the embassy.

Masked agents of the DGIC (Department of Criminal Investigations) were
holding the apparatuses that were spraying toxic gases at the Brazilian
embassy, as well as holding regular weapons.

Confronted with shouts by the First Lady – “assassins, assassins” -, the
DGIC agents disconnected the apparatuses.

EVERYONE IN THE EMBASSY BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:

Dizziness
Nausea
Headaches
Bleeding noses
Dry, irritated throats
Tachycardia (excessively fast heart-beat)
Skin irritations all over body
People spitting and defacating blood

85 people are accompanying the President and First Lady.  All say they will
not leave the embassy, they will not leave the President and First Lady
alone.

The First Lady attempted 3 times to call Radio Globo – her calls were cut
off each time.

People believe it is some sort of acid that is being sprayed, to pressure
everyone to leave the embassy.

Today, no food has entered the embassy. Yesterday, the daughter and mother
of President Zelaya arrived with food at 3:00pm; they did not let the food
enter until 10:00pm.

There is desperation inside the embassy.  There are rumours that trucks full
of earth have been seen leaving the area; people suspect the regime might be
trying to tunnel in.

*TERRORISMO QUIMICO: DENUNCIA LA PRIMERA DAMA*

La Primera Dama Xiomara de Zelaya con valentia subio al muro de la embajada
de Brazil para ver las maquinas que tienen los militares desde las casas
vecinas lanzando gases toxicos, en este momento (10:30a.m) lanzan humo hacia
la embajada, agentes de la DGIC enmascarados, con aparatos y armas
apuntando. Ante los gritos de la Primera Dama diciendoles asesinos, asesinos
proceden a desconectarlo.

TODOS EN LA EMBAJADA PRESENTAN LOS SIGUIENTES SINTOMAS:

mareos

sangrado de nariz
resequedad en la garganta
taquicardia
dolores de estomago

85 personas acompanan al Presidente y La Primera Dama, dicen que no van a
salir de alli, que no dejaran solo al Presidente.

3 intentos de llamadas a Radio Globo con esta denuncia de la Primera Dama y
cortan la llamada.

Con este quimico presionan para que salgan todos de la Embajada, dicen que
es un acido para

A esta hora aun no han dejado ingresar la comida. Ayer la hija y la Mama del
Prsidente llegaron a ls 3:00p.m con la comida y la dejaron entrar hasta las
10;30 de la noche.

Hay desesperacion dentro de la Embajada, tambien denuncian que salen carros
cargados de tierra de la zona por lo que se sospecha, estan abriendo un
tunel.
