ALERT! Repression has increased in San Pedro Sula. There are thirty people arrested and gaoled in Choloma. A young girl NIÑA GEMA VALERIA ALIA MANZANARES is under detention in Las Bartolinas. People with broken bones and numerous injuries.

This morning comrade Ruy Diaz Diaz, member of the FNRP and a part of the elected assembly of this body, was abducted by the police and taken away to the Choloma Police Station, where he was brutally beaten by a police officer with the surname “Castro”.

Ricardo Álvarez, mayor of Tegucigalpa, president of the National Party and possible next president of Honduras is playing dirty games with trash.

COFADEH: Systemic State Sponsored Human Rights Violation in Honduras

The Committee of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH), reported today that there is state sponsored human rightsviolations in Honduras.

The statement issued by COFADEH is as follows:

Please take a moment and give whatever you can to Upside Down World, to support their unrelentingly great coverage of all things Latin American. In a corporate media world dominated by the reporting of right-wing ideologues like Mary O'Grady, we need to nourish the kind of responsible, critical, thinking journalism that we get from UDW.

Participant observation has turned me into an anti-capitalist therapist. How many times, and with how many different young Honduran men, have I had the following conversation?

cipote: I'm shit. I haven't done anything with my life. I'll never amount to anything. I try to find a job, I try to get ahead, but I can't, because I'm shit.
me: You're not shit. Capitalism is shit. The oligarchy is shit. Your boss is shit. The U.S. State Department is shit. But you are not shit.

Another article from truthout. Why does this matter to Honduras watchers? Because it comes from Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, perhaps the most ardent supporter of last year's military coup and the Micheletti regime. Her agenda is the (hegemonic) Miami Cuban agenda, and it is the Israel agenda. The involvement of Israel (by which I mean not Jews, but the state of Israel) in last year's coup, and in "security" actions since, from supplying weapons to (para-/)military and police training to revamping Hondutel's domestic spying network under military control, is part of a broader geostrategic plan for Latin America. The irony here is that some Honduran golpistas have also been some of the major financiers of the PLO over the years, but their class alignment in Honduras is with Israel, so if they don't see a contradiction, why should the Congresswoman?
