Just released letter to Clinton from 27 Congresspeople
Hot off the presses, there’s a new letter just out to Sec. of State Hillary Clinton on human rights violations in Honduras. It comes from 27 US congressmen who, contrary to the Secretary’s statements in Lima earlier this month, maintain that "political violence continues to wrack Honduras" one year after the June 28, 2009 coup. According to the legislators, they write to:
The National Popular Resistance Front (FNRP) expresses it’s support for the Commission of Truth promoted by the Human Rights Platform of Honduras.
The National Resistance Front is looking for truth, the application of justice and the restitution for the victims who have had their human rights violated during the de facto regimes that were imposed by force subsequent to the military coup d’état on June 28, 2009.

Accompanying Radio Progreso and ERIC – Progreso, Honduras
It is early on Friday morning. I’m hoping I can post something while I’m at the radio this morning. I won’t have a chance again until Monday, since this afternoon I leave for El Aguan for a weekend of workshops on political formation with a team from ERIC (Team for Reflection, Research and Communication). Aguan has been involved in a protracted land struggle so it should be an interesting trip. It is inspiring to meet people who are committed and savvy and giving their all to defend their rights.
