Mediation
in
Honduras
Conflict
Tegucigalpa
-
Honduran
writers
and
artists
expressed
their
support
for
mediation
efforts
by
Venezuelan
President
Hugo
Chavez
to
resolve
a
continuing
crisis
in
Honduras
since
the 2009
coup.
In a
statement,
the
Union of
Writers
and
Artists
of
Honduras
reiterated
their
trust in
Chavezâ�Ö
efforts
for the
return
of
former
President
Manuel
Zelaya.
Zelaya
must
return
with all
his
constitutional
rights
guaranteed,
the text
said.
That is
also one
of the
international
community's
demands
for the
admission
of
Honduras
to the
Organization
of
American
States,
from
which it
was
expelled
after
the
coup.
Chavez
also
could
facilitate
the
dialogue
between
the
National
Front
for
Popular
Resistence
(FNRP)
and the
government
of
Porfirio
Lobo,
the
statement
added.
The FNRP
is
demanding
the safe
return
of
Zelaya
and all
political
exiles,
respect
for
humans
rights,
the
convening
of a
Constituent
National
Assembly
and the
recognition
of the
FNRP as
a
political
force.
On
Saturday,
FNRP
leaders
met in
Caracas
with
Chavez,
who
expressed
his
willingness
to help
restore
peace
and
democracy
in
Honduras,
a
process
which is
also
supported
by
Colombian
President
Juan
Manuel
Santos.
Zelaya
was
overthrown
in a
coup and
taken by
force to
Costa
Rica on
Jun 28,
2009.
