Group sends Honduras letter to Obama


Barack Obama received a letter from more than 240 Latin American experts advising him to decry human rights violations in Honduras.

They want him to act before the elections, scheduled for Nov. 29.

“The U.S. government must make a choice: it can either side with democracy, along with every government in Latin America, or it can side with the coup regime, and remain isolated,” the letter stated.

Read the full text of the letter here.

The Voice of America yesterday wrote an article about Honduras, saying the country must take its future into its own hands, and that the United States will respect a decision by the Honduran Congress.
