THIS IS A CRITICAL TIME IN HONDURAS!

This past week has brought positive developments in the campaign to restore democracy to Honduras:

• The U.S. State Department has rescinded all visas to the de facto president and leaders of the coup government.

• In Geneva, the United Nations Human Rights Council expelled the Honduran delegation stating that only representatives of the democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya will be seated.

• The U.S. government reconfirmed the cancellation of military and developmental aid.

• Honduran President Manuel Zelaya will be one of the highlighted speakers, along with President Barack Obama, at the opening of the United Nations General Assembly next week.

• The Organization of American States reiterated that it will not recognize any attempts by coup leaders to carry through with planned November elections. This issue will be addressed by the United Nations next week.

• President Barack Obama has agreed to chair the Security Council meeting. There is considerable hope that the crisis in Honduras will be given priority by all members.

• Representatives from the IMF stated that Honduran aid is suspended until further approval by all 186 member states.
