Hondurans Demand Closing of School of the Americas
Tegucigalpa, May 7 (Prensa Latina) Over 100 Honduran and U.S. people gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa to demand the closing of the School of the Americas.

According to press reports, demonstrators urged government officials and civil society organizations to prevent more Honduran soldiers from being trained at that base.

Catholic priest Roy Bourgois, founder of the School of the Americas Watch, led the protest.

As of 2004, Honduras had sent nearly 3,566 soldiers to train at the School of the Americas, many of whom applied in this Central American country the torture skills learned there.

1. The coup planners and implementers will never listen to them.
Where would they be now without their terrorism?

They owe everything they've taken from the people of Honduras to the School of the Americas and the training given the Honduran military in terrorism.

It's good to know at least the people of Honduras are thinking very seriously about this all the time. In the end, they will win.

Thank you, dipsydoodle.

Recommend.
