Stand with the People of Honduras
SOA Watch is extremely concerned about the situation in Honduras, where SOA
graduates overthrew the democratically elected government on June 28, 2009. An
agreement that was brokered last week between representatives of President Zelaya
and the coup regime was supposed to "return the holder of executive power to its
pre-June 28 state" but it turns out it was just another stalling tactic by the coup
regime. Read a statement from Honduran President Manuel Zelaya below.
SOA Watch supports the three key demands that the National Front of Resistance
Against the Coup in Honduras has put forward:
- the return to constitutional order with the reinstatement of the legitimate
president, Manuel Zelaya Rosales
- respect for the sovereign right of the Honduran people to establish a National
Constituent Assembly for the purpose of refounding their nation
- punishment for those who have violated human rights.

be reinstated!
