After the SOA Coup and the  Illegitimate Elections
Another Unionist Murdered  in Honduras 
Vanessa Yamileth Zepeda -  Presente!
Tomorrow, the people of  Honduras will march in the streets of Tegucigalpa 
to honor the  life of the most recent victim in a spate of selective murders 
 against activists from the resistance movement.  
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qSd1WC0jLFF1LFAFz7NfdRDsdlUuIBnE) <  
NOSEND="1">Vanessa Yamileth Zepeda, a 29- year old nurse,  was abducted last 
Wednesday after leaving a meeting of the  SITRAIHSS labor union. She was murdered 
and her body was dumped in  a neighborhood with ties to the Resistance 
movement. Vanessa  leaves behind 3 small children, and a country where fear is a  
growing commodity.

Since  the "election" of President Porfidio Lobo in late November, in a  
balloting process boycotted by the majority of Hondurans, over 10  leaders of 
the resistance movement have been murdered. Those who  dare to raise their 
voices about this situation are also targeted.  Last week two cameramen from 
media programs opposing the  government were kidnapped and tortured. After 
filing reports on  these and other situations, members of the COFADEH human 
rights  team received death threats.

Instead of denouncing this  critical situation, the Obama Administration is 
doing the  opposite: attempting to rally international support for an  
illegitimate regime that almost no other governme_nt recognizes.  This is part 
of a complete turnaround by the administration. When  SOA graduates 
orchestrated a coup against President Manuel Zelaya  last June, President Obama lent 
his voice to the chorus of  rejection coming from all corners of Latin 
America. In the  following months, however, that position shifted from rejection 
to  complacency to acceptance to promotion. While most Latin American  
nations view the recent Honduran elections as an illegal effort to  whitewash a 
coup, the U.S. insists that they are legitimate, and  the resulting change 
has been positive. The death of Vanessa and  other resistance leaders tells a 
different story.

We urge you to  _send  a message to your Member of Congress_ 
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wyu7DxofSvL67OCVl9kbghDsdlUuIBnE)  
to share your concerns for  the deteriorating human rights situation in 
Honduras  
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4jAu5Ysrk5B1sL3jkcUKKxDsdlUuIBnE)  
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4jAu5Ysrk5B1sL3jkcUKKxDsdlUuIBnE) and to insist that the United  States 
stop their efforts to push for international recognition of  the Lobo 
government. In addition, please ask your Member of  Congress to call for an end to 
the training of the Honduran  military at the School of the Americas, now 
referred to as  WHINSEC. Indeed, it is distressing that even in the months that 
 the Obama administration was condemning the coup, the training of  the 
Honduran military at the SOA/ WHINSEC  continued.

As the people of  Honduras take to the streets tomorrow to risk their lives 
to honor  Vanessa and to insist that her life was not in vain, we ask that  
you take a few minutes to contact your member of Congress. Our  combined 
efforts are necessary to help bring justice a step closer  to the people of 
Honduras.

the Honduran  coup. The comic is piecing together the evidence of repression, 
 violence and threats against resistance members that went mostly  
undocumented in the wake of the November 29, 2010 Honduran  elections. It also looks 
at the United States'  involvement.
