2/2

2nd anniversary of the coup in HondurasWe are organising a protest to Stop the Coup in Honduras 2 years on: Zelaya returns, at 12-1pmon Sunday 26 th June 2011 at Iberoamerican Plaza, next to Central Station (Chalmers St exit);please invite individuals and organisations in your networks to be part of this.

As part of a network of people and organisations working to grow and link in with globalmovements struggling for a better world, we call on you to join with us to help build aninternational solidarity movement. Corporate and governmental powers continue to attempt tonormalise the attack by global neoliberal capitalism against our communities, living and workingconditions and welfare by the prevalence of privatisation, casualisation of labour and the plunderof natural resources. Military intervention and state repression form part of the arsenal of thoseadvocating a neoliberal agenda. When these policies and practices go unchallenged this is adefeat for humanity.

In Honduras, the illegal coup continues and the current repressive Lobo puppet regime obtainedpower on 27 January 2011 through an illegitimate, illegal and repressive election. The illegalcoup in Honduras took place on 28 June 2009.

Today in Honduras , weekly political killings continue. Just in May 2011, local TV news reporterHector Medina was murdered by hit men for his courageous journalism work critical oflandholders and council corruption. Another journalist Luis Mendoza was also killed. Organisedfarmers Jos Lemus and Henry Rony Diaz were assassinated, farmer Francisco Pascual wasdisappeared and an unidentified farmers body was found as well. The regional secretary of theNational Farmers Association of Honduras Dennis Lara was also killed, as was Sixto Ramos,Coordinator of Popular Organisations of Agun. 19 year old musician of the Resistance JuanAngel Sorto was also assassinated.

Through negotiation the deposed president Zelaya returned to physically join in the resistance on

28 May 2011, estimates of the multitudes who arrived to welcome him range from hundreds ofthousands to over a million (the population of Honduras is under 8 million). This is a time tomaximise struggle, solidarity and demands, a time when there is a lot that could be won, and alot that could be lost. A time to show that people around the world are looking and monitoring,and not sleeping.

The repression of the Honduran people cannot be left unchallenged. Therefore, we extend aninvitation for you to stand with us in solidarity with the Honduran people in their demands for agrassroots democracy and against neoliberalist military rule. To share ideas, provide supportand/or be part of the organising process, please contact 0410584890 orlatinamerica.emergency@gmail.com .

Copinh organisation: We will not rest until all the coup structures that are in power today are dismantled. They are enjoying national and international impunity, against which we keep rising our struggle because we are a dignified people that is not disposed to give up. We dont forget,forgive, or reconciliate. Copinh
