It's not hard to see why Latuff likes this man so much. Now you can add some evil Zionists to the mix. Come you, you know you want to.

Tegucigalpa – August 2, 2009 – We’re facing the COPEMH building, which is the professional association for middle education, and we also are speaking with Dr. René Andrés Pavón, who is the President of the Honduran Human Rights Commission (CODEH).

Dick Emanuelsson (DE): Yesterday CODEH put out a news release denouncing a variety of things, among them that Micheletti’s de facto government has contracted with Israeli commandos or people to train the Honduran military/police forces. What we know from the civil war in Colombia is that these commandos have also been advising the Colombian military forces. What are the Israelis doing here?

Andrés Pavón (AP): Until now what we know is that their mission is to prepare the Armed Forces and the police to aggressively and violently dissuade the demonstrations, by committing crimes of a selective nature in order to build fear, staged terror, and achieve a dismantling of the resistance. Other actions they are undertaking involve certain employees of private security firms putting on police uniforms and acting aggressively against the demonstrators. The police have already sort of been trained to dissuade demonstrations and are a bit fearful about attacking the demonstrators so that it’s as if a bit of their human rights training lingers. On the other hand, the security guards are being paid double and their immunity is guaranteed. These are the practices that they are developing, using the experience of the conflict in Palestine and after having put into practice some of these actions in Colombia.

DE: What’s the count up to now, we’re five weeks out from the coup d’etat – how many people have died and how many have been detained, tortured, beaten?

AP: We have a register that since the beginning of the curfew has registered more than 2,200 people arbitrarily detained and deprived of their freedom. And in direct actions undertaken to break up demonstrations we have registered more than 600 people. There are more than 120 people wounded, and three people have been killed in direct actions during demonstrations, with another three whose deaths are characteristic of deaths planned and directed by these groups.

For the first time we’re going to announce the fact that during the curfew more than 37 homicides via firearms took place while the police and the army were in control of the streets. We are going to ask for the names of those victims in order to make the pertinent investigations in light of the fact that the main suspect is the State.

DE: As for the death of the young man, Pedro Magdiel, in El Paraíso on the 24th and 25th of July, now there’s also a photo that came out in the La Tribuna newspaper the same day as the uprising, where a soldier can be seen dragging this boy who showed up dead the following day. How far has the investigation gone in this case?

AP: Yes, we have an investigation going in regard to Magdiel’s case; he was the first to be taken by the police and it has the obvious characteristics of an extra-judicial murder. We know that in Danli, in El Paraiso, there are paramilitary groups who are working in coordination with the armed forces and the police there; we believe that this boy was delivered by the police to these groups who committed this barbaric crime. Today we also noted the death of another teacher who was stabbed in the same way as the killing at El Paraíso.

DE: Has there been another death?

AP: There’s been another death, a teacher that supposedly left here at two in the morning, his name is Martín Flores Ribera Barrientos, he was killed in the Colonia Centroamérica neighborhood, he was going from here to his house and was stabbed in a taxi. This tells us that the state is providing a model of aggressive conduct.

Another strategy is that the Israelis are training a group to instill in people’s minds the idea that those of us who are leaders in this movement have a terrorist past or that we’re tied to the same structure as the police. That’s what somebody told me yesterday who was trying to put up posters, sticking them on walls in order to create distrust in the part of the population that still lacks awareness about the leaders in this country. According to them, they want the people to think that way; it’s a historic strategy in Latin America, and later they try to justify the death of certain leaders as a result of this contradiction.

DE: The reason all these people are here outside the COPEMH headquarters is that yesterday at 1 a.m., the 38 year old Roger Vallejo, a leader of this association, died as a result of a sniper’s attack last Wednesday when the National Front Against the Coup D’Etat took the Tegucigalpa North Highway. What is known of that? Because it’s already the second sniper-caused death. The first was at the airport on July 5 and now we have another death where a sniper supposedly shot this man.

AP: It’s a premeditated killing with certain selective characteristics. They chose a teacher in order to affect one of the associations that presently makes up part of the resistance and has a lot of people tied to the resistance. Everything indicates that it was premeditated. The doctrine of the Rome Statute under which this may come to the International Criminal Court establishes that it’s not necessary that the shooter’s name be known – it is sufficient to know the name of the person who is directing the repressive policies against a large grouping of the civil population, with the intent to provoke a certain natural psychological reaction among the people. In that regard, well, no doubt, there will come a time when the premeditated act will be the object of a formal denunciation against the organizations who, certainly, in this country are tied to the repressive structures of the State. But that will allow us to prove to the prosecutor for the International Criminal Court that there is something happening here and that what’s happening is State policy and that this State policy contributes to the generation of all the repressive acts we’re presently experiencing.

DE: Could the selection of this gentleman [as a target] also have been an expression of the advice given by the Israelis?

AP: Yes, of course! It has much in common with the characteristics of the Colombian conflict where there is a confrontation with correlated forces that are somewhat similar to an armed conflict. Here in Honduras, the correlation of forces is not similar to those in Colombia, here there are civilians who are armed with a courageous conscience, truth, and the only type of self-defense exercised once in awhile is that of a stick or a stone. They also have their methods for intervening in situations like this, similar to what has happened in Gaza and the West Bank.

Wired magazine confirms LRAD is being used in Honduras and Pittsburgh.

The photo above comes from this blog:  http://hondurasenlucha.blogspot.com/
The text on the photo speculates that the agent wearing the CIA cap is Israeli because it is Israeli LRAD, but the simpler solution is it is the CIA using bought Israeli technology. It's a far bigger story if it is just CIA as Israel has openly supported Honduran dictatorships and the CIA claim not to be supporting this one.

The other aspect of the story, of noxious gases being used against the embassy, has been confirmed and condemned by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

GET FAIRTRADE & FRUITY for democr@cy NOW

LRADs aucostic weapons&death threats are being used against internationals throughout the world from Sea shepherd conservation society to activists at Pittsburgh G20. In Honduras&the Americas the death threats are very real for Zelaya+supporters. The people & democracy in Honduras are being terrorised by the CEOs & bankers who have organised the coup with afew cross party reactionaries.

The main reasons for this terrorism is that Zelayans wanted to increase the minimal wage for
Hondurans who mostley live in dire poverty. The fat cats organising this terrorism & assination should have assets they do not need frozen & nationalised or cooperativised for company workers & democracy as well as any companies supporting terrorism,genocide & apartheid in Isreal.

2 USA companies helped organised the coup by Gorilettis regime 3months ago with Obama& the CIAs backing, Chiquita Brands International Inc famous for bananas sold allover the UK, (formerly United Fruit)& Dole Food Co
President Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder had been a Covington partner&defender of Chiquita when it was accused of hiring "assassination squads" in Colombia.

I've been unable to find any photos for comparison of Israels 'Scream' acoustic weapon which they've been using against Palestinians.

Washington, DC, September 22, 2009 – The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) strongly condemns the excessive use of force in the repression of protests that have taken place in Tegucigalpa, near the Embassy of Brazil, the current location of President Manuel Zelaya Rosales.

According to the information received, after President Zelaya returned to Honduras on September 21, 2009, the de facto government imposed a curfew which is still in place and ordered the airports to be closed. In this context, police and military forces repressed the protests in the vicinity of the Embassy with excessive use of force, using tear gas and rubber bullets. Moreover, information was received indicating that hundreds of individuals had been detained and that State agents threw tear gas canisters into the headquarters of the Committee of Relatives of Detained-Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH), at the time that the organization was attending to complaints and witness statements by individuals injured during the repression. The IACHR was also informed that the Embassy of Brazil in Honduras is surrounded by State security forces and cut off from all external communication following the application of a power outage in the area. Other power outages interrupted the broadcasts of radio Globo and TV Channel 36.

The IACHR calls on the de facto regime to urgently adopt all appropriate measures to guarantee the rights to life, integrity and security of all persons. In particular, the Commission urges the de facto authorities to respect the right to life and integrity of the individuals who have been detained, as well as of President Manuel Zelaya Rosales, the members of his family and his cabinet who have taken refuge in the Embassy, the Brazilian diplomatic staff, and all persons who are currently in the Embassy.

The Inter-American Commission urges the de facto authorities to investigate the excessive use of force used to repress the demonstrations in support of President Manuel Zelaya and to punish those responsible for the human rights violations that are determined to have taken place following the appropriate investigations. Moreover, the IACHR reiterates its call on the de facto government of Honduras to respect public demonstrations and reiterates that all individuals without distinction must be equally protected in the exercise of their rights of freedom of expression, assembly and political participation. In this sense, the Inter-American Commission once again expresses its deep concern over the repeated use of various states of emergency in Honduras, in this case a curfew, to suspend fundamental rights and to prevent public protests.

In particular, the Commission expresses its deep concern over the restrictions to freedom of expression through indirect means such as power outages that, in practice, lead to the interruption of the broadcasting of certain media outlets. The IACHR and the Special Rapporteurship for Freedom of Expression demand absolute respect of the right to freedom of expression, and call on the de facto authorities to ensure all guarantees so that journalists and media outlets may freely and securely perform their work of informing the public.

A principal, autonomous body of the Organization of American States (OAS), the IACHR derives its mandate from the OAS Charter and the American Convention on Human Rights. The Inter-American Commission has the mandate to promote respect for human rights in the region and acts as a consultative body to the OAS in this matter. The Commission is composed of seven independent members who act in a personal capacity, without representing a particular country, and who are elected by the OAS General Assembly.
