Hondurans Unwavering, Talks Pause

Tegucigalpa, Oct 10, (PL).- Honduran people's forces have reached Saturday their 105th consecutive day of anti-coup struggles, amid a state of siege even during the dialogue to solve the current dangerous political crisis in the country.

Juan Barahona, general coordinator of the National Front against the Coup d'état, stated that a demonstration would take place on Saturday in the populated neighborhood of Hato de Enmedio, in the outer area of the capital.

Since constitutional guarantees were suspended on September 26, strong contingents of riot police and army soldiers have repressed resistance' rallies.

The issue of repression was analyzed Friday, during the third day of talks by representatives of Constitutional President Manuel Zelaya, who was removed from office on June 28, when the military coup was perpetrated.

Barahona, one of Zelaya's delegates, said on Friday night that they demanded that the de facto government representatives ended the current state of siege and repression against resistance.

They also demanded that putschists reopened Radio Globo station and television channel 36 Cholusar Sur, the capital's only two media covering the anti-coup rallies.

The parties also announced Friday night that they had discussed 60 percent of the issues, although Barahona stressed that the main problem of the negotiation, which is Zelaya's restitution, has not been accepted by representatives from the de facto government.
