Intellectuals Back Chavez Mediation in Honduras Conflict http://www.insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2011/april/23/centralamerica11042302.htm

Honduran writers and artists expressed their support for mediation efforts by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to resolve a continuing crisis in Honduras since the 2009 coup.In a statement, the Union of Writers and Artists of Honduras reiterated their trust in Chavezâ�Ö efforts for the return of former President Manuel Zelaya.Zelaya must return with all his constitutional rights guaranteed, the text said.

That is also one of the international community's demands for the admission of Honduras to the Organization of American States, from which it was expelled after the coup.Chavez also could facilitate the dialogue between the National Front for Popular Resistence (FNRP) and the government of Porfirio Lobo, the statement added.

The FNRP is demanding the safe return of Zelaya and all political exiles, respect for humans rights, the convening of a Constituent National Assembly and the recognition of the FNRP as a political force.On Saturday, FNRP leaders met in Caracas with Chavez, who expressed his willingness to help restore peace and democracy in Honduras, a process which is also supported by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.Zelaya was overthrown in a coup and taken by force to Costa Rica on Jun 28, 2009.
