DESCRIPTION:"Honduras: Two Years after the Coup, the Repression Continues"\nA 
 discussion with Andrés Thomas Conteris, journalist and the founder of 
 Democracy Now! En Español.\nAndrés spent four months inside the Brazilian 
 embassy with President Manual Zelaya following the June 29, 2009 coup.  He 
 recently accompanied the president back to Honduras after his exile in the 
 Dominican Republic.\n\nTwo SOA Watch activists, Adrianne Aron and Theresa 
 Cameranesi, will also share observations from recent trips to 
 Honduras.\n\nBackground:  Repression and Resistance in Honduras\nFor the 
 last two years every sector of the Honduran population has been actively 
 resisting the repressive coup that ousted the freely elected president in 
 2009. Insisting on democratic process and an end to structural injustice, 
 the millions, who are part of the National Resistance movement, have come 
 together to protest the coup government’s policies of displacement, 
 privatization of public services, and the auctioning of the country to the 
 highest bidder. Peaceful protest by teachers, students, rights activists, 
 and campesinos have been met with violent repression. Hundreds have been 
 killed, tortured, and disappeared. Twelve journalists have been 
 assassinated since the coup began. Dissent has been criminalized by the de 
 facto government, but the people are refusing to be silenced. \nAndrés 
 will give a historical perspective of the repressive US backed Honduras of 
 the 80’s to the present.\nAdrianne Aron and Theresa Cameranesi will share 
 their observations from their recent trips to Honduras with an emphasis on 
 the ways people are coping with fear, expressing their demands, and 
 denouncing human rights violations, and how the well-organized resistance 
 movement is determined and hopeful of achieving justice.\n\nFree and open 
 to the public\nWheelchair accessible\nFree parking on Franklin: after 6 pm 
 on right side of street; after 7 pm on left side of street\n\nSponsored by 
 School of the Americas Watch, San Francisco\n
