INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH HONDURAS
RALLY: SATURDAY
23 JUNE 2012 @
11:00AM
IBEROAMERICAN PLAZA,
CENTRAL STATION
(NEAR DEVONSHIRE STREET)
Join us in solidarity with the People of Hondu-
ras against the the continued political killings,
human rights violations and environmental
exploitation that has been driven by an inter-
nationally coordinated military coup since 28th
June 2009.
Outraged by these ongoing abuses, friends from
many parts of the world converged in Bajo Agu-
an, Honduras in February this year to declare
that 28 June 2012 would be the International
Day of Solidarity With Honduras. In Bajo Aguan
alone there have been more than 50 farmers
assassinated for their resistance against the
coup in their fight for land rights.
Honduras is now seen as the ‘murder capital’
of the world, the persecution of the Honduran
people is not slowing down. In the past month
there has been a surge in the frequency of po-
litical killings.
This is an invitation to participate as a commu-
nity in solidarity with Hondurans resisting the
continuation of a brutal internationally coor-
dinated military coup and honour those resist-
ers that have been murdered in the past month
among the many that have gone before them.
