[Marxism] Zelaya calls on workers and peasants to protest coup

[Russell Morse <russell.morse@xxxxxxxxx>]

"Fears of violence in Honduras grew as soldiers surrounded the
presidential palace, keeping at bay a growing group of protesters who
gathered to support the ousted president. They burned tires, sending up
black plumes of smoke. Helicopters circled overhead.

"'We want the people's vote to be respected," said Freddy Huezo, a lawyer who 
had taken to the streets to support Mr. Zelaya.

"Mr. Zelaya called on unions, workers and peasant and indigenous
organizations to demonstrate peacefully for his return. "I ask the
people of Honduras to be calm, but for them to defend their democracy
and their rights," he said. "There are forms of protesting without
hurting anybodyâthere should be demonstrations everywhere.'"
