[Peace-discuss] Hillary: Now Is the Time to Restore President Zelaya

[Robert Naiman]

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya returned to Honduras yesterday;
President Zelaya is under the protection of the Brazilian Embassy in
Tegucigalpa. The coup regime immediately declared a curfew; Honduran
military and police have surrounded the embassy, violently dispersing
President Zelaya's supporters. As Secretary of State Clinton has
noted, the question of whether President Zelaya can return to Honduras
has been resolved by events. He has returned. The question is now
restoring him to office.

But before there can be a diplomatic resolution of the crisis, the US
must make clear to the coup regime that a violent crackdown will not
be a way out. The reports from Honduras indicate that a violent
crackdown is already underway.
