RALLY IN SUPPORT OF HONDURAS NYC

THIS WAS THE EMERGENCY RALLY IN SUPPORT OF HONDURAS TO END THE COUP NOW! RESTORE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED MANUEL ZELAYA TO POWER!
NO TO US INTERVENTION! YES TO SELF DETERMINATION FOR THE PEOPLE OF HONDURAS AND ALL OF THE AMERICAS!
TOOK PLACE ON; Monday, June 29, 2009, from 3:00 - 6:00 PM
AT: In front of the Honduran Mission to the
United Nations, 866 UN Plaza (to the east of 1st Avenue, between 48th and 49th streets), New York,
NY 10017 Manhattan, NYC
REASON:
At 6 AM on Sunday, June 28, 2009, Honduras popular president Manuel Zelaya was kidnapped,
removed from power, and brought to Costa Rica, where he remains at this moment. It is no
coincidence that this is the day that millions of Hondurans were preparing to vote on whether they
wanted to reform their constitution ­ similar to what the people of Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia have done in recent years.

Manuel Zelaya is backed by a majority of labor unions and social movements in Honduras. This
coup was carried out in a way that mirrors the removal of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from
Haiti and the attempted coup against President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, who was brought back to
power by the Venezuelan people. Clearly, this is an act of economic and political elites in
Honduras, the US, and elsewhere who are desperate to prevent Honduras from continuing to unify with the more leftist and socialist countries in Latin America.

Following the kidnapping of Zelaya, Honduras foreign minister and ambassadors from Cuba,
Venezuela, and Nicaragua have also been kidnapped in clear violation of international laws. Now,
the people of Honduras of taken to the streets in protest and Presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia,
Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, and others have made public statements condemning the coup d'etat in
Honduras and calling on the international community to react to ensure democracy is
restored and the constitutional president is reinstated. Washington, on the other hand, remains silent as of now.

JOIN THE PEOPLE OF HONDURAS AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IN CONDEMNING THE COUP DETAT AND DEMANDING THAT MANUEL ZELAYA AND THE KIDNAPPED
FOREIGN MINISTER AND AMBASSADORS BE REINSTATED.

[bigstU25]

Ur a fuck'n idiot just like anybody that supports Zelaya! The Honduran Gov't FOLLOWED the Honduran Constitution. When they sent the Military to remove Zelaya=the CRIMINAL, he wasnt even President cause the COURTS already ruled that he BROKE THE LAW!

He was stripped of his Presidency 4 that, then the army was sent to remove him from the country cause he was a DEPORTEE!

So how the hell was it a Coup? Its impossible for it to be a Coup!!

Obama & Liberal media is LYING!

READ THE CONSTITUTION!!

[bigstU25]

Bullshit! Chavez DISRESPECTED Democracy by holding secret elections behind the congresses back! Duping the masses to believe what Chavez was doing was democratic! Now he runs the lives of the people of Venezuela like a SLAVE MASTER!

FUCk DIctators!

[rsqualo]

I am Honduran and i speak for my own Family and Friends when I say that none of us, NONE OF US, want him back. ZELAYA, STAY AWAY, CHAVEZ, STAY IN VENEZUELA. we will hold our ground even if we get embargoed like Cuba. The real traitors to democracy who are now allied with Zelaya and the rest of the countries who support him... how weird right????

[dontavo2]

we reject the comunist attack to our peaceful country. we respect international laws and live by our own laws. everything that is currently happening in our country is in direct reaction to his puppet like attitude against democracy, much like Chavez ways. PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH. I agree on asking the people about politics about healthcare, justice, economy, commerce, etc. but not giving him the power to decide on his own. MEL ZELAYA, QUE SE VAYA.

[Catracho7o2]

Es Obvio Que Desconocian, Lo Que De Verdad Paso En Honduras En Ese Momento.

[StinkingHombre]

[OffTheElitists]
