Honduras : EMERGENCY DELEGATION
August 07, 2009
- August 17, 2009
Global Exchange's emergency delegation to Honduras seeks to bring attention to the June 28th military coup d'etat against democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya and the continuing human rights abuses by the military government. Facilitated by Democracy Now and Nonviolence International's Andres Conteris, we will highlight the socio-political and economic circumstances leading to the forced exile of the constitutional government and the efforts by civil society, indigenous, religious, labor, non-governmental and human rights organizations in resisting the de facto military regime of Roberto Michelletti.
Based out of Tegucigalpa and the surrounding countryside, the delegation will ensure an international presence to accompany Honduran community leaders at risk of persecution and document human rights abuses to disseminate to media outlets. Given the increasing political and economic volatility on the ground, coupled with the repression of constitutional rights such as freedom of expression and assembly, this program will offer participants the opportunity to exercise citizen diplomacy and solidarity with the people of Honduras and their democratic process.
