IN HONDURAS AT THIS MOMENT: THE AMBASSADORS OF NICARAGUA, CUBA,
VENEZUELA AND THE FOREIGN MINISTER OF HONDURAS PATRICIA RODAS HAVE
BEEN KIDNAPPED BY HOODED ARMY PERSONNEL AND HAVE BEEN BEATEN UP

Ten minutes ago, President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras has just spoken
to Telesur. He is at the airport of San Jose, Costa Rica where he was
taken at gun point, in his pyjamas, from his house where there was a
twenty minute gun battle between his guard and hooded army personnel.

He declared that this was  brutal kidnapping, that he has not asked
for political asylum, he is still the legal and democratically elected
president of Honduras.

He urged all the presidents of Latin America, of the Alba group, of
Mercosur, of all the region to reject  this abuse of the Honduran
people, not to recognize any other government of Honduras, and to
fight for themselves, for the democratic rule in Latin America.

He urged OAS president  M. Insulza , who was to arrive in Tegucigalpa
today, not to cancel his trip and to apply the Democratic Charter of
the OAS and help to restore the constitutional order in Honduras.

He urged the president of the United States to reject this coup
d'etat, because if he does, the coup will collapse. But if he does
not, then the world will know the USA is behind it.

He urged the noble Honduran people to stand up for their rights in
non-violent ways, through civil disobedience in demonstrations
throughout the country along with the workers and unions.

Zelaya thanked the president and authorities of Costa Rica who are
there in the airport with him, as well as several ambassadors, among
them the Venezuelan ambassador. He has received telephone calls and
solidarity from Presidents Ortega and Chavez, among others.

There is a meeting tomorrow of Central American presidents in
Nicaragua and President Ortega has assured Zelaya they will not
recognize any other Honduran president but him .


WRITE TO THE CANADIAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO URGE HIM NOT TO
RECOGNIZE ANY OTHER PRESIDENT OF HONDURAS BUT MANUEL ZELAYA!
