CRISIS IN HONDURAS
Information to Hondurans Blocked
Tegucigalpa - Access for Hondurans to
information from the international press
media on the coup d''etat in that country
has been cut by the de facto government.
In these moments it is impossible to see
images from TELESUR or International
Cubavisión, among others, and neither is
there access to the news of Radio Havana
Cuba, the Honduran popular leader Carlos H.
Reyes denounced Wednesday.
Meanwhile, television and radio stations,
radio chains and national newspapers are
silencing the truth.
The Hondurans remain in ignorance, because
"the local media ignores its informative
obligation," denounced the daily, Tiempo, in
San Pedro Sula.
Never before, said the publication, has
Honduras suffered "a violation so deep and
massive of freedom of speech, due to
government intervention, not even in the
darkest times of dictatorship."
With these practices the constitutional
rights to inform and to be informed are
violated, based on the Inter American
Democratic Charter and the Universal
Declaration of the Human Rights, Tiempo
concluded. |
