Honduran Resistance Leader Slain

HeadlineSep 08, 2011

In Honduras, a leading member of the resistance movement that opposed the 2009 military coup has been killed. Mahadeo Roopchand Sadloo, a key supporter of former president Manuel Zelaya and a protest leader with the National Popular Resistance Front, was reportedly shot five times Wednesday inside of his tire shop. The Resistance Front says around 200 of its members have been killed in the more than two-year period since the coup.
