Resistance Leader Luis Gradis Espinal's corpse found, after public arrest and beating
This is what Obama and Clinton are supporting by aligning with the Honduras Junta,
the public arrest and beating of an opposition political leader followed by an assassination.

Meanwhile, authorities are bragging that they have the names of everyone who opposes the coup!

Policía Asesina Lider Resistencia
Por Raimundo López - http://hablahonduras.com/2009/11/26/policia-asesina-lider-resistencia/


El asesinato del líder de la resistencia antigolpista en el sur de Honduras ensombrece hoy aún más el tenso clima político del país en vísperas de las cuestionadas elecciones del próximo domingo.

El cadáver del coordinador del Frente Nacional contra el golpe de Estado en esa región, Luis Gradis Espinal, fue hallado ayer tras su arresto por la policía, ......

Varios testigos relataron que el vehículo donde viajaba junto a Espinal fue interceptado en el Anillo Periférico de la ciudad por una patrulla policial y el profesor resultó arrestado, e incluso golpeado con una pistola en la cabeza.

El Comité de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos (COFADEH) informó que el cuerpo sin vida de Espinal fue encontrado en el sector de Las Casitas, en el oeste de la capital. .....

...........

La noticia sobre el hallazgo del cadáver de Espinal la recibieron los miembros de la resistencia cuando realizaban una protesta frente a la sede del Tribunal Supremo Electoral.

Los manifestantes corearon consignas contra los comicios mientras unos 60 candidatos a puestos de elección popular presentaron el retiro de su inscripción ante el TSE en repudio a “la farsa organizada por el régimen de facto”.

Son muchos los compañeros y compañeras que están viniendo a renunciar a este proceso electoral ilegítimo, afirmó uno de los líderes del Frente, el dirigente campesino Rafael Alegría.

Nosotros les estamos acompañando y apoyando en esta decisión, que han tomado porque consideramos que es lo correcto para no avalar este golpe de Estado, subrayó Alegría.
