Honduran
Resistance
Front
Repudiates
Porfirio
Lobo's
Presence
at UN
TEGUCIGALPA
- The
National
Front of
Popular
Resistance
and
humanitarian
organizations
protested
the
participation
of the
Honduran
president,
Porfirio
Lobo, in
the
sessions
of the
UN
General
Assembly.
In an
open
letter
to UN
Secretary
General
Ban Ki
Moon,
they
pointed
out that
Lobo's
presence
in the
forum
contradicts
the
spirit
of the
resolution
adopted
by that
agency
on June
30,
2009,
which
condemned
the coup
in
Honduras.
The
letter
states
that the
resolution
remains
in
force,
as well
as the
crimes,
political
persecution
and
other
human
rights
violations
in the
Central
American
country.
On the
other
hand,
Lobo's
government
has
given no
guarantee
for a
safe
return
of
former
President
Manuel
Zelaya
to
Honduras.
"Consequently,
we
reject
the
presence
of Mr.
Lobo in
this
forum,
set up
to
ensure
democratic
freedoms,
fundamental
freedoms
and
human
rights,"
says the
text.
The
letter
was also
signed
by the
Committee
of
Relatives
of
Disappeared
Detainees,
the
Center
for
Women's
Rights
and the
organization
FIAN-Honduras.
