What comes in Honduras with the assumption by another face of the coup  is more dangerous, it consists of  a selective repression in which they   want to sell  murder as a result of drug trafficking and organized crime to hide the political persecution against any and all those who do not endorse the coup, warned Monday, Bertha Oliva, coordinator of the Committee of Relatives of Detained and Disappeared in Honduras, COFADEH.

Police through their spokesmen, in the last hours has stated that "they have intelligence information" concerning acts that are scheduled in the framework of the government takeover of Porfirio Lobo Sosa, which has its origins from the coup .

We know that the intention to have these complaints made public by the spokespersons of the repressive forces of the state is to begin to justify the repression against the population, they are not going to stand for any attacks, but there is the perversity of suppressing the people who have not joined to accept the military coup d'etat and dictatorship that operates in the country, said Oliva.

The human rights defender said that if it were true that  the coup regime  intends to carry out a process of research on these points, "we would support  them, but if they were  healthy and independent, if this circumstance was given, they would find out  that those responsible are members of the police and of the armed forces, but because of  the high degree of polarity in society, they want to stick to the resistance as their main  subject and that we start to discuss about it, because the repeated lies that have circulating no one believes them anymore.

She clarified that the human rights violations committed by the armed forces are not common crimes, the actions that they are not committing are crimes, which should be pursued, however the aim is to confuse the population.

With regard to succession that  the coup  will have in charge of  Lobo Sosa she said that the clear intent is to confuse in national and international level that what we live in the country is not a human rights situation but  of assassinations due to common crime, "so they willwant to sell this idea."
