Assassination of the anti-coup resistance leader in the southern Honduran region clouds even more the tense political atmosphere in the country, ahead of the questioned elections on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Honduran<\/a>The National Front against the Coup d’Etat leader Luis Gradis Espinal’s corpse was found on Tuesday after he was arrested by the police, human rights authorities denounced.<\/p>\n

Reports by the Front said 56-year-old Luis Gradis Espinal, retired teacher, had left on Sunday southern Valle department for the capital, and his whereabouts had been unknown since then.<\/p>\n

A witness said the vehicle in which she was travelling with Luis Gradis Espinal was stopped at the city’s Beltway by a police patrol and the teacher was arrested and also beaten with a pistol in his head.<\/p>\n

The Detainees and Missing People’s Relatives’ Committee (CAFADEH) reported that Espinal’s corpse was found in Las Casitas sector, in the capital’s western area.<\/p>\n

In a communique, the National Front warned that the repressive corpses have increased security and persecution of the resistance members.<\/p>\n

The organization highlighted that this policy has come “to the point of declaring a state of emergency that could be a preliminary to a military offensive against unarmed people.”<\/p>\n

That alliance of people forces reiterated a call to ignore actively the elections, which it considers a complete sham to legitimize the military coup that removed President Manuel Zelaya from office on June 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
