The Committee of Families of the Detained and Disappeared of Honduras 
(COFADEH) denounce the illegal overnight detention by police of nine 
minors associated with the resistance movement*

/Nine males between the ages of 12 and 17 were detained yesterday 
afternoon and held in jail overnight in a facility unsuitable for 
minors, without the notification of their parents/guardians or the 
Honduran Institute for Children and Families (INHFA). They were not 
charged with any criminal offense and were released at approximately 
12:00 noon today after a visit by a COFADEH lawyer who petitioned for 
their release for several hours. These youth are reported to have 
participated in at least one march of the resistance movement, as part 
of a group of young people organizing educational activities encouraging 
reflection upon the political and social realities currently being 
experienced in Honduras. *COFADEH is manifesting grave concern to the 
national and international human rights community in the face of the 
continued criminalization and repression of young people and members of 
the Resistance in Honduras by state forces, such as the police, since 
the coup d?etat on June 28, 2009, repression which has continued in a 
targeted, violent manner under the government of President Porfirio Lobo 
in 2010. *//Their testimony is below./


*TESTIMONY*

We, the undersigned [names are committed to protect the victims? 
identities as minors], who are minors, Honduran, and residents of the 
Sanai neighborhood of Comayag?ela, freely and of our own volition appear 
before the Committee of Families of the Detained and Disappeared in 
Honduras (COFADEH) and offer the following testimony.

*FIRST*: Yesterday the 1st of July between 3:30 and 4:00 PM we were in 
the Sina? neighborhood in the house of our friend Jankel Alejandro, 
where we were having a meeting and celebration related to our school, 
where various Preventative Police officers arrived in patrol vehicles 
marked No. 103 and 109 and forced the lock of the house and entered 
without presenting any kind of warrant. They proceeded to search us even 
though we weren?t carrying anything that illegal, they handcuffed our 
wrists with our shoelaces and loaded us onto their patrol trucks, taking 
us in the direction of the 5th precinct which is located in the Granja 
neighborhood.

*SECOND*: When we arrived at the above mentioned precinct they ordered 
us to get down from the trucks, as they watched us get down they 
proceeded to hit us one by one. We were in that precinct for about 10 
minutes then they moved us to the 4th precinct which is in the Bel?n 
neighborhood, they took us to the jail cell there where we were detained 
for approximately eight hours.

*THIRD*: We hereby authorize COFADEH to carry out any follow-up actions 
that they consider to be necessary.

For the record, we sign this testimony in the city of Tegucigalpa, 
Municipality of the Central District, on the 2nd day of July, 2010.

    El Comit? de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras
    (Cofadeh), expresa su total repudio y preocupaci?n por la detenci?n
    ilegal  seguido de torturas[1]
    <http://es.mc248.mail.yahoo.com/mc/showFolder?&.rand=632376344&&abnumadded=1&abnames=+Paola++Ramos+&abids=405#_ftn1>  
    que fue objeto Edwin R?belo Espinal por parte de  agentes de la
    Polic?a Nacional Preventiva.

     

    El 30 de junio a las 11:30 p.m. Edwin R?belo Espinal se encontraba
    en su Barrio La Flor del Campo, a cinco cuadras de su residencia,
    cuando llegaron cinco polic?as basados en la estaci?n Policial de la
    Flor del Campo, al mando del agente Vargas y le requirieron su
    licencia de conducir, Edwin les mostr? su tarjeta de identidad, que
    era el documento que necesitaba portar debido a que no estaba
    conduciendo  no necesitaba acreditar su licencia de conducir.  En
    ese momento le comenzaron  a golear y el agente Vargas le roci? gas
    pimienta en sus ojos y con un bast?n el?ctrico le aplic? toques
    el?ctricos en diferentes partes del cuerpo especialmente en las
    piernas y en o?do.

     

    Luego lo obligaron a subir a una patrulla en la que le estuvieron
    haciendo recorridos err?ticos por diferentes calles durante 45
    minutos, trayecto en el cual lo amenazaban dici?ndole que era
    comunista,  zelayista y */?dej/**/? de estar en esa mierda de la
    resistencia/*?,  despu?s de amenazarle y tomarle fotos, lo
    trasladaron a la Cuarta Estaci?n Policial, antes de bajarlo de la
    patrulla lo empujaron con la intenci?n  de que perdiera el
    equilibrio y  cayera, tambi?n le volvieron a aplicar  gas pimienta 
    y lo introdujeron a una celda. Cuando le aplicaban el gas pimienta,
    un agente le dijo que con ese gas  iban  a matar a todos los civiles
    - Edwin perdi? a su joven esposa Wendy Elizabeth ?vila de una
    Congesti?n pulmonar despu?s de haber aspirado  gas pimienta el 22 de
    septiembre de 2009 durante la represi?n y suspensi?n de garant?as
    constitucionales. En la Estaci?n Policial le informaron que se le
    deten?a por estado de ebriedad y esc?ndalo p?blico. Edwin R?belo no
    ingiere bebidas Alcoh?licas. Fue liberado a las 10:30 a.m. del d?a
    01 de julio de 2010   por intervenci?n de la Coordinadora  del
    Cofadeh.    

     

    *Antecedentes:*

    * *

    Edwin R?belo Espinal ha sido sujeto de m?ltiples capturas despu?s
    del golpe de Estado, todas siguiendo el mismo patr?n de malos
    tratos. El 14 de noviembre de 2009, fue detenido por agentes de la
    polic?a durante el desarrollo de la Caravana de la Resistencia en la
    Colonia San Miguel de Tegucigalpa, en esta ocasi?n -la polic?a- sin
    motivo alguno comenz? a golpear y a detener a los manifestante que
    se hab?an quedado al final de la Caravana, como Edwin pregunt?
    porque raz?n los maltrataban, ocho  agentes lo tomaron de la camisa
    lo esposaron y a empellones lo subieron a la patrulla,  lo
    condujeron junto  otro manifestante a la Cuarta Estaci?n Policial y
    les acusaron de manchar las paredes  con consignas de la
    Resistencia, el Joven con el que fue detenido no sab?a leer ni
    escribir. Permaneci? detenido o por espacio de seis horas, durante
    ese tiempo le amenazaban con acusarlo de sedici?n.

     

    Tambi?n ha recibido una serie de llamadas amenazantes en su tel?fono
    celular generalmente se producen en horas de la noche.

     

    El 07 de octubre de 2009, fue atacado con balas de goma mientras
    participaba de una  manifestaci?n frente a la Embajada de Estados
    Unidos en Tegucigalpa. El 25 de febrero de 2010,  polic?as
    plenamente identificados tomaron fotograf?as de su persona y de las
    placas de su carro  mientras participaba de la manifestaci?n de la
    Resistencia  Contra el Golpe de Estado.   En la primera semana de
    abril  de 2010 la polic?a amenaz? a  los motociclistas de la
    resistencia denominados los Patriotas de la que Edwin es parte, que
    si sal?an en motocicletas les iban a reprimir y le tomaron
    fotograf?as a las placas de las motocicletas que se encontraban
    estacionadas en el parqueo del STIBYS. Las marchas continuaron
    realiz?ndose  y los Patriotas apoyando en  motocicletas. 

     

    El 10 de abril, despu?s de la marcha, Edwin prest? su motocicleta y
    cascos a Gerson Ebenor Vilchez  y a la novia de este. En la Ciudad
    de Comayag?ela, entre la segunda y cuarta calle, un veh?culo
    desconocido impact? contra la motocicleta que conduc?a Gerson.  Por
    la gravedad de las  heridas muri? 40 minutos despu?s. 

     

    *Solicitud *

    El Cofadeh llama  a la comunidad  nacional e internacional a:

     

    Exigir  a las autoridades  hondure?as que garanticen  la  seguridad
    del Joven Edwin R?belo Espinal y que lleven a cabo una investigaci?n

    Detenciones ilegales y tortura que violentan los derechos
    fundamentales y humanos de Edwin R?belo,  que hagan p?blicos sus
    resultados y que lleven a los responsables de estos actos ante la
    justicia.

This November 19-21, we return to Fort Benning because we must.

 

The martyrs demand it. 

 

Thirty years ago, the graduates of the School of Assassins killed my good friend Maura and the other three Church women in El Salvador. It has been 21 years since 14-year-old Celina, her mother Elba and the six Jesuits were killed by SOA grads. It's been five years since it was revealed that instructors at the school worked with the paramilitaries in Colombia. One year has passed since SOA graduates overthrew democracy in Honduras.

 

The school is still open and the violence continues.

 

There has been no accountability. The martyrs made the ultimate sacrifice for their resistance. We will not forget the goals they fought for. We must return to Fort Benning to remember them and to recommit ourselves to those same goals. We must return to Fort Benning until this school is closed once and for all. Justice will prevail! 

 

See you at the gates,

 



Father Roy Bourgeois, M.M. 




P.S. Please click here to forward the November 2010 call to action to your family and friends. Mobilize your community to take a stand for justice at the gates of Fort Benning. Following the November Vigil, we will carry our resistance to Washington, DC in April 2011. Please click here to make a donation to support the work of SOA Watch.

Coup planned by
Honduran
businessmen in an Arab Emirate 
Saturday
July 10, 2010 12:15 Red Moraz?nica de Informaci?n 
?They could kill me for
this?.
Tegucigalpa. 20
June 2010.
 The murdered ex-minister of the deposed President Manuel Zelaya,
Roland
Valenzuela announced in the program ?San Pedro Sula by Night? that the
coup in
Honduras was planned by a group of six Honduran businessmen who got
together to
go to a business fair in Dubai, one of the seven Arab Emirates. 
They met in the
bar of a
hotel and decided that Zelaya had to go, ?now we can?t tolerate him any
longer?
just as he was beginning to promote the Fourth Option (plebiscite)
which was a
threat to them, as Zelaya was seeking a Constituent Assembly to make
the
economic and social measures of his government into law, with the aim
of
protecting them.
The
?manageress?, the
coordinator of the Coup, Jacqueline Sandoval, an honours graduate from
West
Point, further educated in The Rangers of the US, left a folder of
documents in
the Hotel Plaza San Martin, that contained various drafts with precise
details
of how the coup should be carried out. 
The folder was
handed over
by ?a humble citizen who is a hero, to me?, said Valenzuela, in a two
hour long
copied recording of the radio program that circulated on the internet.
They payed four
million
dollars to a ?powerful lobbyist?, one who promotes political proposals,
called
Smith, to create disinformation about Zelaya with accusations in the
Pentagon, the
CIA, and the FBI to prejudice him in the eyes of the US. Smith and his
associates contacted the coordinator of the Coup. 
Valenzuela
remarked that
these groups who had sworn to kill Zelaya would be listening to him,
and would
say, ?how does this corn munching son of a bitch know so much. I don?t
know if
they are going kill me the moment I step outside the radio station? he
said,
laughing.
The Ambassador
Hugo
Llorens and the United States. 
Among other
documents is
the draft of the decree for the removal of Zelaya from office,
including the
number of the Act, dated 28th of June 2009, signed by Ricardo
Rodriguez, Jose
Toribio Aguilera, Rolando Dubon Bueso, Rigoberto Chang Castillo and
Gabo
Alfredo Jalil Mejia; addressed to Hugo Llorens, telling him that it
needed a
few corrections but that they ?needed his opinion?.
?What is
Ambassador
Llorens doing meddling in these matters ? adding his opinions to a
draft that
is no less than a draft for the removal of President Zelaya from power.
I?ve
always found it curious, this great affection that Llorens had for
Zelaya, whom
subsequently he ?didn?t want? Valenzuela speculated. 
He accused the
United
State: ?The coup wasn?t overturned because they betrayed us. Zelaya was
never
restored because the United States assured Micheletti ?hang in, hang
it, stay
there, because we aren?t going to get rid of you? he stated.
?Hillary Clinton
swore to
Zelaya that they were going to restore him?, but at the same time they
handed
over control of the situation to Oscar Arias, whom Valenzuela called ?
a
servant to the gringos?.
There is also a
message to
the International Community saying that ?the rule of law was
persistently
broken? by Zelaya ?who assumed, de facto, supremacy over all the powers
of the
State?. 
Valenzuela said
that in
the paper there was ?a little list? of the people who were at this
meeting, and
a collection of ?unproven accusations? against Zelaya, with
observations and
corrections that were viewed as necessary for the anticipated plan.
Jacqueline
Sandoval set up the exercise and what each person involved should say
or do.
?Call Marcia
Villeda to
get these documents? was one of the annotations read by Valenzuela. She
?faked
the signature? of an alleged resignation by Zelaya, and afterwards
?would
declare her innocence? in a trial he declared. 
When Zelaya
decides to
implement the Fourth Option the businessmen have the meeting in Dubai
and
argued that he wanted a Constituent Assembly to make lowering the price
of fuel
a law. This, to Valenzuela would have been the main motive.
Convincing the
Armed
Forces of Honduras (FAH).
The conspirators
approached the FAH, that was the last thing shielding President Zelaya,
as
hitherto they had ?remained loyal to the President?, he explained. 
Romeo Vasquez
Velasquez at
this time was in the Christopher Columbus Hotel in Trujillo ?looking
like a
little boy running from one side to another showing the plans for the
Fourth
Option to the President? Valenzuela observed. ?Suddenly he changed his
position
radically?, he added.
The order that
appears in
the documents on May 20 advises the Public Minister that he must appear
to
request a demand and record that President Zelaya be put on trial. 
The coup
plotters act
divisively.
The only ?lying
excuse?
they had for kidnapping the President was the Fourth Option. One group
of coup
plotters said that ?there was no reason to touch the President ? they
still
didn?t have due process, they hadn?t done everything that needed to be
done,
things hadn?t been done as planned, we?re going to go back to a coup?,
one
group demanded from the other. 


Micheletti
persisted and
?convinced the FAH with a wicked manoeuvre?.  Those involved ?are the
ones
who give the orders here?.  Rafael Ferrari, an influential landowner
became ill and left for the US, but left instructions to Renato Alvarez
and
Edgardo Melgar [journalists], to do a hatchet job on Mel, and follow
the
instructions of Billy Joya?.
He said that
?the coup
plotters didn?t follow the plot that the hawks advocated, the procedure
that
the US Ambassador accepted.? Carlos Flores, another coup plotter,
following the
suggestion of the US, was the first to take the side of President
Zelaya and
his wife Xiomara and tell him that he ?didn?t have anything to do with
the coup?. 
According to
Valenzuela
those who were putting the screws on to make the coup were a ?garbage
faction,
a bunch coming up from the bottom desperate to get its share of power?
?They?ll
probably have me
killed for this?, Roland Valenzuela said then.
 He
asserted that there is
a group of assassins hired to murder Zelaya. The object of the coup
?was to
kill him, to pretend that the Presidential guard resisted, that there
be a
shoot out and one of the shots would kill him. But one guy objected?;
when the elite
group came to take the President he sent 500 soldiers so that there
would be
600 witnesses on hand to see what happened?.
Valenzuela
mentioned in
the interview that he didn?t come out and march with the Resistance
because he
was afraid that he could be killed in the street because he had
?personal
reasons? to support the return and reinstatement of Zelaya. 
With the
Constituent
Assembly Zelaya was trying to make achievements in social progress, law.
Valenzuela
mentions seven
measures of the Zelaya government that created the discontent and would
cause
various powerful groups to unite against him. 
Among others,
there was
the order to lower the index of the price of basic necessities,
regulation by
the DEI (Taxation Office) of fast food franchises that bought produce
wholesale
and retailed them in other outlets.
The measures to
adjust
fuel prices with Petro-Caribe are what provoked the rebellion of the
transnationals. He [Valenzuela] divulged that one of the importers said
to the
President: ?If I stopped fuel imports, President, you wouldn?t last 24
hours in
your job?.  Valenzuela said that the businessman gave him a shove, and
insulted them. 
Zelaya had come
to the
decision that the achievements of his government would only be safe if
they
were made law, and to that a Constituent Assembly was necessary. This
is what
led him to call a plebiscite, known as the Fourth Option, since he
claimed ?We
don?t have any power in the Congress. The Court, the National Audit
Office ?are
owned?.
The role of the
Truth and
Reconciliation Commission. 
The ?Commission
of Lies?
tries to say that Zelaya provoked the coup, Valenzuela concluded.
Roland
Valenzuela, close
confidant and friend of Zelaya, was shot and killed by a bullet in the
back by
another businessman, Carlos Yacaman Meza in the bar of a hotel on June
16 2010.
The Police initial hid the name of the killer so as ?not to muddy the
investigation?.  Translated by Fry

To: presente-honduras at lists.mayfirst.org


 Hello friends,
This morning I wrote a letter to Insulza of the OAS asking him to postpone
the readmittance of Honduras. My plan is to get as many signatures as
possible today (we are showing katia Lara's film tonight at a public event
so I hope to get at least 50 signatures)and then Fax it to the OAS in DC.
The Fax number is: 202-458-6826.
If each of you would do something similar or even if it's only a letter from
one person it could have an impact. Just a suggestion......

In Solidarity,

Dale Sorensen
Marin Task Force on the Americas

PS Please join us in Honduras in September

Subject: [HNA] Seeking Spanish interpreter for Salvadoran speaker tour

Please forward...

Equal
Exchange, a worker-owned cooperative that imports fair trade products from
around the world (www.equalexchange.coop)
is seeking an experienced Spanish/English interpreter
for a speaking tour with a representative from Las Colinas Coffee Cooperative
in El Salvador. His name is Pedro Ascencio
and he will be here on the tour from Monday,
September 13 through Sunday, September 19. The speaking engagements will
be with various Interfaith, retail, university, and caf? locations in Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

 

The
translator will be fairly compensated for their work. If you are interested
please inquire with Peter Buck @ 774-776-7414, pbuck at equalexchange.coop. Peter will be away until August 23rd, but will respond to
messages and emails on his return.

 

Las
Colinas Cooperative has a very inspirational story (see text below). You can
also read about some of the innovative sustainability projects that they are
doing here: http://smallfarmersbigchange.coop/2010/02/15/2786/
Profile
  of Las Colinas in E Salvador
   
  The
  Las Colinas co-operative in El Salvador is collectively farmed and managed on
  the site of an old coffee plantation. The agrarian reform of 1980
  redistributed land throughout El Salvador from the hands of large-scale
  coffee growers into the hands of coffee pickers and laborers alike. But,
  exorbitant interest rates on the loans used to purchase the land came at a
  high cost and today the producers still struggle to finance their debt and
  stay on their land. Equal Exchange is supporting the co-op members' endeavors
  by purchasing the majority of their coffee crop. We're working with Las
  Colinas to readjust their debt and find alternative ways to improve their
  finances. 

  

  The war of the 1980s also had a devastating effect on the natural environment
  due to widespread deforestation. Las Colinas is located near the border of
  Guatemala and forms part of the buffer zone for El Imposible National Park,
  habitat to endangered pumas, emerald toucans, and fresh waterfalls. Las
  Colinas has taken steps to preserve their natural resources; they recently
  converted their coffee to organic and have invested in eco-depulpers to
  reduce the amount of water they use during processing.

 Commission of Truth in Honduras
Message-ID: <4C531D48.9050902@quixote.org>




Quixote Center Announcement

	

Dear Friend,

Greetings from the Quixote Center.  As you know, the work of the Quest 
for Peace expanded  last year in  response to the ongoing crisis in 
Honduras in the aftermath of the June 2009 military coup d'?tat.  Your 
support, participation in delegations and advocacy work are deeply 
inspiring.  You have strengthened us to stand firmly with the people of 
Honduras during this difficult and dangerous time for them and all of 
Latin America.

 

Tom Loudon, who has led this work, has been appointed to be the 
Executive Secretary for the Commission of Truth, an autonomous, 
independent commission which was inaugurated on June 28, 2010 the first 
anniversary of the coup d'?tat in Honduras.  

 

This is a tremendous honor which we are proud to share with all of you. 
It will be an intense year ahead as the Commission works to fulfill its 
mandate,

 

/"to make sure that the collective voice of the people of Honduras is 
not overcome by forgetting and silence, that  impunity does not reign 
over justice and to build structures that ensure that the shadow of coup 
d'?tats never again falls over Honduras." /

 

This appointment comes at a time of transition and discernment for the 
Quixote Center.  In order to facilitate the work of Tom and Jenny in 
Honduras and Latin America, at this particularly critical time, their 
program work is being transferred to the Nicaragua-U.S. Friendship 
Office, founded in 1991 by Rita Clark D'Escoto, where they will carry on 
the work that you have supported so faithfully.

 

Work with the Institute John XXIII as part of the Quest for Peace, will 
remain at the Quixote Center.

 

Please join us in celebrating this important honor and historic 
opportunity.  We will need your continued help and support for these 
programs at their new home with the Nicaragua-U.S. Friendship Office: PO 
Box 926, Greenbelt, MD 20768 or 301-204-9549 or 301-614-0545.

 

 

In hope and solidarity,

 

Board and Staff of the Quixote Center
