The statements from Hospital Escuela, that they announced on television, describe a thousand people coming in, with bullet wounds and many of them with burns from cigarettes, because of the torture they were subjected to while being detained. Doctors also charge that most of the victims are young people.

Right now, Zelaya is denouncing the possibility that the soldiers might indeed enter the embassy during the night, then he says that they did not stop the attacks and the smoke bombs against the installations for the whole day, in spite of the declarations made by the coup plotters’ government that it would respect the headquarters. In view of the call to a dialogue, he [Zelaya] suggests that it is the solution to the current crisis and calls on Micheletti to sit down to negotiate.

Meanwhile, barricades are still up in many neighborhoods of Tegucigalpa, and there are some settlements of the country where not even the army was able to enter. The vanguard has faced confrontation for more than 24 hours , and severe repression is expected tonight, which is why there are urgent calls to curb the attacks, in anticipation of what could happen tonight in Honduras. In some settlements, they are calling on the people to arm themselves against the army and set up barricades against the armored cars.

The alternative media are calling for curbing the attacks and lifting the curfew, if they do not want to face a civil war.

Nineteen deaths have so far been confirmed, and Zelaya is holding Micheletti responsible for that.
