Complaints have revealed that members of the resistance are being photographed by neighbors who support the de facto government

The involvement of paramilitary informants and undercover agents is endangering thousands of people who have participated in demonstrations against the coup and that in recent weeks have expressed their refusal to exercise the vote in rigged elections.

Defensoresenlinea.com has collected information on which it is alleged that unmarked vehicles with tinted windows followed members of the National Front of Resistance Against Coup in different districts and neighborhoods of the capital.

The complainants claim that individuals who are driven in cars without license plates, followed in order to film them while conducting cleanup of political advertising.

And in general assembly is that the national front against the coup d'etat has expressed the position that the November 29 elections are a farce and those who will participate, would legalize the coup.

In this sense the resistance committees, located in neighborhoods and settlements, have distributed pamphlets and political propaganda hook of candidates for popular election in order to sensitize the communities that citizenship should not go to exercise the vote on November 29.

In other registered complaints has been reported that resistance fighters are being photographed by neighbors who support the de facto government for the purpose, they said, they can be identified by the police and investigating officers.

The informants pointed out that these actions are intimidating and threatening and constitute a clear political persecution, the style of the dictatorship of Tiburcio Carías Andino (1933 - 1949) or the implementation of the National Security Doctrine in the early eighties. Both are used to "ears" (informants), to state agents and paramilitary forces to persecute, harass, torture and disappearance of opponents or opponents of the regime.

Although the international community condemned the coup and political-military enterprise which occurred on June 28 and called for the return of President Manuel Zelaya to return to constitutional order, the de facto government delayed the talks and sought to create a government of national reconciliation without the participation of the constitutional president Zelaya Rosales.

The usurper government has said that general elections are the only way to solve the political crisis and have used the related media to mislead public opinion that the Organization of American States (OAS) and United Nations (UN) shall recognize the election result.

It is reported that apart from the militarization of the election process, the de facto president would be using hundreds of reservists to ensure allegedly because elections are conducted with "tranquility." These actions create an atmosphere of oppression and terror in the citizenry.

It has also emerged that since private enterprise would be forcing workers to cast their votes on 29 November, under penalty of losing their jobs if they do not show a finger stained with indelible ink.

On Saturday 14 November and from the Brazilian embassy, surrounded by military and police contingents, the constitutional President Manuel Zelaya of the Republic sent a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama in which he says that will not accept any agreement to return to the presidency to cover up the coup, "we know to have a direct impact on the military crackdown on human rights of the inhabitants and the inhabitants of our country."
