Ricardo Salgado has just returned from the Brazilian Embassy where President Zelaya is defying three police lines and attempts by the coup regime to dislodge him and his supporters in contravention of international law. The Honduras Resistance movement is planning mass marches for tomorrow, and will attempt to retake Radio Globo that was shut down by the coup regime yesterday. Radio Globo is still broadcasting through the internet, and a network of smaller community radio stations. Will the resistance movement cause the de facto coup regime collapse under its own weight of repression sooner, or later?

Andres Conteris, journalist for "Democracy Now" is inside the Brazilian Embassy in Honduras with President Zelaya where he has taken refuge until restored to his legitimate role. The Brazilian Embassy is under siege by the Honduran armed forces who have attempted to cut food supplies, water and electricity, jam communications and set up sound boxes designed to emit high pitched, irritating high decibal noise inside the Embassy grounds. A week later, and the coup regime has declared a suspension of all constitutional rights and put an ultimatum to the Brazilian government. International reaction to this disturbing move has been disappointingly slow, especially from the US. The toll of casualties is mounting, the latest a woman who died from the effects of the teargas assault on the Brazilian Embassy. Radio Globo is no longer transmitting, but has maintained its internet stream. The Honduran coup regime is reacting hysterically and with typical excessive force against the popular outrage that has only grown over the last three months, with hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of people out in the streets in protest on a daily basis.

Tambien actividades dentro Australia para vencer la represion. Santiago represents the Honduran Resistance Front in Australia. The suspension of constitutional rights by the coup regime has shocked people around the world; Santiago hopes that a meeting arranged by the Mexican Embassy with the Australian Foreign Minister will help to overcome the slow response and the diappointing reluctance of the US government to categorically reject this outrage against the Honduran people. |

Ricardo Salgado from Honduras - 88th day of the coup, protest, and now insurrection, with people defying the coup regime's attempts to impose a round the clock curfew. 50,000 people are still demonstrating in the capital Tegucigalpa, and the military have taken over two sport stadiums to hold the people they have arrested and held. The popular media (radio globohonduras and Canal 36) are holding out despite attempts to shut them down, and announced and frustrated two planned attempts to assassinate President Zelaya within the Brazilian Embassy.

Como dijo Socrates, el pueblo no tiene miedo de las reacciones desesperados de los golpistas. |

Ricardo Salgado in Honduras describes how almost half the population of Honduras turned out on the streets on September 15 (Independence Day) in protest against the coup regime of Micheletti, who still insists on holding elections on November 29, in spite of popular outrage and a proposed boycott. The evolution of the Resistance Front, its' political development, and goals that now go far beyond the simple return and reinstatement of exiled President 'Mel Zelaya' is unprecedented in Honduras' history, and the sustained popular resistance - now past its' 80th day, unprecedented anywhere.

Ricardo Salgado Honduran researcher talks about the 77th day of popular resistance to the coup regime in Honduras, and the impossibility of a fair election there on October 29. The coup regime is starting to come apart at the seams, while the Resistance Front is growing in strength, motivation, objectives, and organisational skills.
