HONDURAS PROTEST AT THE US EMBASSY STILL ON!

PROTEST AT THE US EMBASSY!

Reinstate President Zelaya Now!

Defend human rights in Honduras!

Wednesday November 4, 5.30-7.30pm

At the US Embassy, 24 Grosvenor Square, London, W1A 1A.


A deal was reached last week in Honduras that should see the return of President Zelaya to office. But so far this has not been implemented. There are already many reports that this will be delayed by those opposed to the return of Zelaya, including in the Supreme Court and Congress, which both have to approve the deal.

President Manuel Zelaya has warned about a possible "manipulation" by the coup government after signing the agreement that could return him to power and end the crisis in his country. "There may be manipulation, so we must remain vigilant until compliance has been achieved," he said in a telephone contact with the channel Telesur, adding that "possibly some members are trying to impede the drive to complete this agreement."



We need to keep up the pressure to ensure the return of the elected President. Please join us on Wednesday!



Speakers to include:

Jeremy Corbyn MP

Tony Burke, Assistant General Secretary, Unite the Union

Linda Perks, Regional Secretary, Greater London UNISON

Jose Vallejo Villa, Justice for Cleaners

Bellavia Ribeiro-Addy, Black Students’ Officer, NUS


This picket is part of the activities of the Emergency Committee Against the Coup in Honduras. The Committee involves Venezuela Solidarity Campaign, Cuba Solidarity Campaign, Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign, Labour Friends of Venezuela, UNITE the Union, UNITE London & Eastern Regions, South East Region TUC, and other bodies of the British Labour movement and Latin American communities.
