RCA Coffee Hour: Honduras & Human Rights

Presented partly in English and Spanish at times, with brief summaries made in the other language as necessary.  A solidarity and Human rights delegation led by La Voz de Los de Abajo in Chicago visited Honduras in January during the installation of illegitimately elected President Pepe Lobo and the departure of deposed president Manuel Zelaya. The delegation attended a massive protest march and met with human rights, union, religious, LGBT and campesino groups, all part of the National Resistance Front against the coup.
