Canada was the quickest country to start making excuses for the coup government that took power in Honduras last summer. We're seeing the results now: murdered journalists and police repression that started late last week of the weeks-long teacher's strike. The strike followed a struggle that included a student occupation of the National Autonomous University. The occupying students and allies were able to repel the police from the university grounds.

The US is making a push to whitewash the human rights situation in Honduras so they can be readmitted into the Organization of American States (OAS). Rights Action have some suggestions (bottom of the page) about what can be done to show solidarity with people in Honduras.
