[HNA] Honduras: The struggle continues 2010

Quixote Center Announcement

	

Dear Friends

The situation in Honduras remains tense after a somber holiday, marked 
by violence targeting progressive journalists and other movement 
leaders.   On New Year's Day, COFADEH (Committee of the Detained and 
Disappeared of Honduras) held a vigil in the Plaza of the Disappeared, 
calling on the international community to be especially vigilant given 
the approaching "transfer of power" on January 27th when the "military 
coup regime, becomes an illegitimate government of force."

The broad based National Front of Popular Resistance has called for 
marches on January 7^th and the 27^th to advance the call for a popular 
Constituent Assembly and a new social pact for the country. 

The Quixote Center is organizing the ninth in a series of Human Rights 
Accompaniment Delegations to Honduras from January 24-31, 2010. Please 
see the Report from the November "Elections" Delegation.

It you are interested in joining this delegation, please contact 
jennya at quixote.org <mailto:jennya at quixote.org> for more information.

Due to constant threats, a steady stream of people involved in the 
resistance has had to leave the country.  We have begun working with the 
resistance movement to find emergency and longer term housing in 
Nicaragua where we have a strong support network. We hope to soon set up 
a kind of 'safe house' where people can land. More details on this to come.

Accompaniment Delegations.
