Terrible news from Tegucigalpa

One of the most prominent and brilliant political cartoonists in Honduras, Allan McDonald (don't be fooled by the name- he IS Honduran), is reported to have been kidnapped by the armed forces along with his 17-month-old daughter, Abril.

Meanwhile, this afternoon the following update (translated below)

HOY HAN REPRIMIDO FEROZ Y SANGUINARIAMENTE LA MANISFESTACIÓN DE MILES DE HONDUREÑOS EN LOS ALREDEDORES DE CASA PRESIDENCIAL. FUIMOS ATACADOS CON DISPAROS, GASES Y CON TODA LA BRUTALIDAD DE LOS MILITARES...ESTA PROTESTA SE HA ESTADO REALIZANDO PACÍFICAMENTE POR ORGANIZACIONES POLÍTICAS Y POPULARES EN RECHAZO AL GOLPE DE ESTADO FASCISTA ENCABEZADO POR MICHELETTI BAIN Y SUS SECUACES.

QUEREMOS QUE INFORMEN DE ESTA SITUACIÓN A LOS MEDIOS INTERNACIONALES PUES EL CERCO MEDIÁTICO IMPIDE QUE EL RESTO DEL PUEBLO HONDUREÑO Y EL MUNDO SEPAN QUE ESTE GOBIERNO DE FACTO ESTÁ COMETIENDO ACTOS REPRESIVOS Y DESDE YA HACEMOS RESPONSABLE DE CUALQUIER DAÑO, DESAPARICIÓN O ASESINATO CONTRA UNO DE NUESTROS COMPATRIOTAS AL SR. ROBERTO MICHELETTI BAÍN.

Today the thousands of Hondurans protesting outside the presidential residence have been ferociously and bloodily repressed. We were attacked with bullets, tear gas, and all the brutality of the military forces...This protest has been carried out peacefully by political and popular organizations in rejection of the fascist coup d'etat carried out by Michaletti Bain and his minions.

We want the international media to take note of this situation, since the media blockout prevents the rest of the Honduran people and the world that this de facto government is committing repressive acts and that we hold Mr. Roberto Micheletti Bain responsible for any harm, disappearance, or assassination that is carried out against one of our compatriots.
