There are charges from many parts of the country that people are being moved to the Chochi Sosa Stadium, calls from the coast and the towns of the interior, that people manage to make before being moved, mentioning their names and that they have been beaten badly.
The press speaks of dozens of deaths in the streets of Tegucigalpa, since hooded men are "hunting" people in the avenues and the vicinity of the Embassy with firearms. They also charge that the injured are being removed from the hospitals. The Chochi Sosa Stadium has been converted into a massive detention center, where, it is now believed, there are at least 100 people.
Dozens of calls repudiating the repression are being made to the pro-coup newscasts. The listeners hold Micheletti responsible for any act that could leave victims and wounded among the demonstrators. The Congress adjourned because the curfew does not permit them to arrive at the Congress at 10 a.m., as they had planned. Micheletti keeps the same statement as yesterday, the alleged obligation that Zelaya has to present himself to the tribunals and the call to the people to remain in their houses.
The Embassy is surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and every so often they continue shooting smoke bombs and teargas canisters through the windows. Internet and radio broadcasts have been cut off in Tegucigalpa, and now the pro-coup media are the ones everyone is listening to, but the most recent broadcast was saying that from one house the entrance walls of the Embassy of Brazil have been broken down, but they have not entered. Zelaya is confined in a room together with his family and other diplomats in the rear of the Embassy.
The curfew, they insist, will last until 6 p.m.
