Rush Hour Picket Demands U.S. Government Withdraw Support for Honduran Coup Leaders

by Jason Pramas, Open Media Boston - August 14

BOSTON/Boston Common - A rush hour picket in support of the democratic resistance movement against the Honduran coup d'etat was held on Tuesday by about 25 activists from several area organizations with connections to Central America - including Proyecto Hondureño, Centro Presente, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, and others. Participants leafleted passers-by and set up a table where people were encouraged to sign petitions to the U.S. government demanding that help reinstate elected Pres. Manuel Zelaya - who was arrested and exiled to Costa Rica on June 28th by the Honduran military - by breaking off all ties to the Honduran coup leaders and their de-facto government.
