*Decreto PCM-M-029-2009*
COFADEH Alert: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 *Military Dictatorship arms itself with weapons and munitions of death and declares war on the National Front of Non-Violent Resistance.*
Amidst expectations of large-scale repression and warnings to stay safe at home during the elections, the Honduran Ministry of Health has issued an emergency communiqué alerting all Department level Health Directors and Hospital Directors to have all medical personnel on call 24 hours a day, to reprogram elective surgery, and to stock up on medicine and equipment for the period of November 19 – December 4, 2009.
On October 22, 2009, the Armed Forces of Honduras, First Battalion of Communications issued a letter to all of the Mayors in the country requiring their offices to compile a list of names and telephone numbers of members of the municipality who are “part of the resistance.” The letters ask for the list to be compiled as soon as possible because the Army will be following up on the request with a visit to each municipality “very soon in order to strengthen our democratic system.”
