Honduras: Coup Leader Suspends Constitution

Honduras Coup Leader Decrees 45-Day Suspension of Constitution

September 28, 2009
Please Distribute Widely

Dear Colleague,

The de facto government in Honduras yesterday made public a decree which will suspend Articles 69, 72, 81 and 84 – articles which protect the most basic of rights – of the Honduras Constitution.

Publisher Al Giordano translates the decree and reports the latest move made by the coup regime:

“On the same day that the Honduran coup regime detained six foreign diplomats from the Organization of American States (OAS) - two US officials, two Canadian, one Colombian and Chilean OAS chief Jose Miguel Insulza - for six hours in the Toncontin International Airport, barring their entrance into Honduras, it has made public the following decree, which bans freedom of assembly, transit, the press and orders National Police and the Armed Forces to arrest and detain any person suspected of exercising those rights.

“…The rogue regime that just instituted this decree enjoys the support of some US citizens, including lobbyist Lanny Davis in Washington, DC… and The US public relations firm of Chlopak, Leonard, Schechter & Associates has just received, according to US Department of Justice records, a $290,000 dollar contract to advise the coup regime.”
