The following is a presentation made by Carlos Torchia to a Sept. 26 Toronto teach-in on the mass resistance in Honduras to the June 28 anti-democratic coup d’état in that country. The event was attended by about 60 solidarity activists.

The coup regime, headed by Roberto Micheletti, initially denied reports of Zelaya's return. But U.S. officials have now conceded that he is indeed back, reportedly holed up in the Brazilian Embassy.
