HONDURAN NATIONAL RESISTANCE Running Updates for September 23Rd

September 23, 2009
tags: , , , , , , , , ,

The National Resistance folks continue to request that we circulate their Twitter posts to others.  I’m going to try doing a running update throughout the day and see if that works.  Again, these updates come from primarily the National Front and Honduras en Lucha websites.

I want to highlight one particular bit of news.  Radio Globo has been knocked off the air, but the National Resistance website is broadcasting their coverage.  Here’s the URL in case you wish to pass it along to others:  http:contraelgolpedeestadohn.blogspot.com

September 23 Updates

9:30 PM :

The national government TV channel announced earlier today that a new curfew would begin at 5PM and would remain in effect until the golpistas inform the population otherwise. Essentially, the curfew is indeterminate.

Grave repression against the Resistance mobilization in Tegucigalpa, especially in the barrio of Morazon.

Costa Rican embassy is suggesting to Costa Ricans in Honduras that if they are not a resident, they should get out of the country.

Reports of commando battalions moving towards Tegucigalpa from the eastern part of the country.

Twenty-one deputies of the Liberal Party issued a comunique recognizing Mel as the constitutional president and vowing their support for Plan Arias.

Blog Mirada de Halcon has the following picture of the sound/noisemaking equipment that was being used outside the Brazilian embassy and is looking for anyone who can identify it and what it does.

    The link to the national resistance website leads to a 404. Having trouble finding it on google, is it possible to correct this?
