Tegucigalpa. Radio Globo and Channel 36 were victims of this Sunday night of attacks on its transmitter, located at Cerro Canta Gallo, on the outskirts of the capital.
"We have information that a chemical bomb was thrown at our transmitters and Radio Globo, but what concerns us now is the life of the guard that was in place, with whom we have failed to communicate," said the reporter Esdras Amado Lopez, director of Channel 36.
Amado Lopez, said the criminal attack is the work of de facto president, Roberto Micheletti, and assured that everything is a strategy to intimidate and not continue to transmit informaición against the coup.
Los químicos, que lanzaron dijo López en una comunicación telefónica realizada al programa del periodista José Ochoa y Martínez, han destrozado los cables, pero recalcó que lo que les preocupaba en ese momento era el estado físico de la persona que custodiaba el lugar. " The chemicals, which were thrown", said Lopez in a telephone call made to the TV program of journalist José Ochoa and Martinez, have broken the wires, but emphasized that what concerned them at the time was the physical condition of the person guarding the place.
Given the situation, said he had contacted the Human Rights Attorney, Sandra Ponce, but this response would be given until Monday to proceed to take action in the case.
"We are being persecuted and threatened us and until there is money for our head, but they will not achieve that we reverse, we will continue providing information on the activities of Hondurans against the coup, and also to protest violations human rights carried out by the dictator Roberto Micheletti "he said.
Channel 36 and Radio Globo, were among the first media that gave information about the coup, on Sunday 28 June and were also victims of military repression, when members of the army seized the facilities of their offices to bribe not to broadcast what was happening, while most Hondurans information hiding what happened.
PHOTOS-58 Days: National Resistance Still on the Streets and So Are the Repressors
Reports out of Tegucigalpa yesterday warned of a significant increase of military on the streets. Evidently, after the National Resistance concert on Sunday, military clubbed some of the concert goers, threatened to kill them, and then released them.
Anti-golpista media seems to be a particular target of the military. Both Radio Globo and Cholusat Sur TV-Channel 36 were attacked and sabotaged by masked “special forces” members. Radio Globo reported that some sort of “special” chemical had been applied to its transmitter rendering it inoperable, but used a replacement to get back on the air in the afternoon. It looks like Cholusat Sur TV was damaged so thoroughly that it might not be up and running for several weeks.
There are a few interesting things about the upswing in repression and especially the “reappearance” of the military. First, the eyes and ears of prominent human rights organizations have left Honduras after having documented very serious abuses of human rights by the golpista regime. This makes it easier for the golpista regime to escalate the repression in order to keep the National Resistance under wraps while the OAS is in town, ostensibly, to achieve a brokered settlement to the crisis.
Both the Amnesty International and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights reports discuss human rights abuses committed by the police as well as the military. Both reports express concern that the army was used to “back up” the police in civilian crowd control situations. Yet, in the first few weeks after the coup, the kidnapping of President Zelaya and all manner of crowd control throughout the country was led by the military with the police serving as back up. About five weeks ago, the pattern changed to the police being the lead with only occasional back up from the military. Because the US doesn’t want to label this a military coup, it could be that it leaned on the golpista regime to cool it with the military and use the police more prominently.
As you will see from these pictures, picked up from the Honduras Indymedia site , the military has boots on the ground in Tegucigalpa as well as the police. And, the National Resistance is out in the streets and holding their own.

We called on to international human rights organizations to intervene immediately to ensure the integrity of the leaders of the resistance and the Honduran people in general.

For the naive who still live in the fantasy world they created the "media siege" called Corporacion Televicentro and other cronies, and future of awakening to reality and accept that we live in a dictatorship where a group of entrepreneurs have under control all the powers of the state especially the congress, the supreme court, the prosecution .... Understand that there are no laws in this country, what exists now is the law of the coup, the constitution of the coup backed by private armed forces and repressive police in Honduras .
With this attack, it should be clear that in Honduras there is no such thing as democracy, but instead a civil-military dictatorship.
Radio Globo and South Cholusat receive the unconditional support of the Honduran people, and we won't remain in silence .....
