A delegation of 10 artists, musicians, and buy cheap Zithromax on line human rights activists from the United States arrived this week in Honduras to buy cheap Zithromax on line participate in a Festival in San Pedro Sula, El Dia del Arte y Cultura en Resistencia (Day of Art and Culture in Resistance). The group of artist brings a buy cheap Zithromax on line message of solidarity to the broad-based Honduran resistance movement which, since the buy cheap Zithromax on line 2009 military coup d’état ousted democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya, has buy cheap Zithromax on line struggled against repression and for human rights and justice for the buy cheap Zithromax on line Honduran people.

“As a delegation coming from the U.S., we denounce our government’s continued support for buy cheap Zithromax on line and military aid to the repressive Honduran regime,” said Anna Duncan of Son Cosita Seria, a buy cheap Zithromax on line Washington DC-based musical group that is participating in the festival, “and buy cheap Zithromax on line we stand with the Honduran people in their courageous struggle against brutality and buy cheap Zithromax on line for justice and liberation.” Son Cosita Seria is buy cheap Zithromax on line a musical group based in Washington, DC that plays traditional Mexican Son Jarocho music, and buy cheap Zithromax on line uses this to support struggles for social justice.

In the buy cheap Zithromax on line two years since the coup, artists have played a crucial role in denouncing ongoing repression in the buy cheap Zithromax on line country. Like other human rights defenders in Honduras, they have come under attack. On September 15, 2010 an buy cheap Zithromax on line up and coming rock band, Café Guancasco, was directly targeted by Honduran police and buy cheap Zithromax on line military during a public concert. They were beaten, lost all of their equipment, and buy cheap Zithromax on line one member of the audience was killed. One month later, Cafe Guancasco took to buy cheap Zithromax on line the streets again to stand up against militarization, violence, and repression. They staged the buy cheap Zithromax on line first ever Artists in Resistance Festival that brought together artists of all kinds to buy cheap Zithromax on line defend the right to free expression. This year’s coming festival celebrates another year of continued resistance.

The festival was scheduled to buy cheap Zithromax on line take place at the San Pedro Sula campus of the buy cheap Zithromax on line National Autonomous University of Honduras. However, a few days ago, University authorities told organizers that buy cheap Zithromax on line they were no longer going to allow the festival to buy cheap Zithromax on line take place on campus. A communiqué published by Café Guancasco, one of the primary organizers of the event, states, “we call on the buy cheap Zithromax on line national and international community to condemn this violation of people's fundamental rights. Over the buy cheap Zithromax on line past year, they have tried to shut us up with tear gas and buy cheap Zithromax on line gunshots. This time, they do it through their puppets who buy cheap Zithromax on line today govern the university, driving it toward collapse and privatization.” As a buy cheap Zithromax on line result of being shut out of the University, the Day of Art and buy cheap Zithromax on line Culture in Resistance will now be held at a different location in San Pedro Sula, but all of the buy cheap Zithromax on line activities will continue as planned.
