On July 5th the news was broadcast live on "'Telesur"' that the democratically elected president of Honduras, President Manuel Zelaya, circled helplessly over the Honduran airport , unable to land in his own country while his supporters were attacked below by the military.

According to reports, tear gas was shot at the crowd of thousands and at least two people were murdered in the melee.

Any local Honduran media criticizing the coup is under attack so the news coming out of Honduras is limited; but even so, the people have made it clear that they are not giving up and will continue to fight for their democracy and against the dictatorship which has taken over and continues to claim their legitimacy with repeated lunacy.

Here in Los Angeles, Hondarans and supporters from other Latin American community gathered in MacArthur Park at the corner of 7th and Alvarad to show thier support for the beleaguered people and demands that the Obama administration take an official stance against the coup.
They plan to continue their actions until President Zelaya is reinstated to his rightful position.
