Young Men Forced to Join Army
I am making a public complaint, refuting the declaration made by the minister of security yesterday at a press conference that young men were not being forcibly recruited into the army since today, my brother Raul Maradiaga, 17 yrs old, was heading home for lunch as he usually does when army police tried to recruit him forcibly and to take him to a truck, who knows where.
Thank god he was able to flee from the police and sent out this notice to the population of what is happening in this country. I ask all the people who received this mail to resend it to all their networks, national and international, so that they know the truth of the situation in the country and not only the nice things that the communications outlets like TVC and the United Issuers (Emisoras Unidas) disseminate.
We ask the international institutions to please help us to restore calm in the country, Honduran society will thank you, because all of it, without exception, is fearful of what may happen; if they did what they did to President Manuel Zelaya, why can’t they do something to us as well.
Companions don’t let your arms be twisted, continue with this fight, because a united people will never be defeated.
