Recalling the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations, international law, and conventions on international peace and security,

and that has jeopardized the security of Honduran and foreign citizens,

The Popular Resistance Front of Honduras issues an urgent call to international social movements, networks, campaigns, human rights organizations and communications media to send delegations to our country, especially to stand by us this Thursday, the day we expect the return of the Constitutional President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya Rosales, and on which there will be widespread demonstrations.

We call on everyone to increase solidarity and help us break the media blockade imposed on our country.

For our part, we wish to tell you that we continue to mobilize throughout the country, with the creativity and force of the people.

From the lands of Lempira and Morazán, we continue to raise our voices and intensify our efforts.
