Amnesty: Honduran Coup Regime Punishing Zelaya Supporters
---------------------------------------------------------



The human rights group Amnesty International has documented more
evidence of abuses under the Honduran coup regime. In a report set for
release today, Amnesty accuses Honduran forces of using beatings and
arrests to punish supporters of the ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
Amnesty says the “mass arbitrary arrests and ill treatment of
protesters” remains a “serious and growing concern.”
