President Manuel Zelaya In An Exclusive Interview Condemns

Sellout of Honduran Democracy

Building Bridges speaks with the legitimate President of Honduras in the

aftermath of the country’s recent fraudulent election. President Zelaya

urges the U.S. to reject the election, as the Honduran people have in their

mass boycott of it, subsequent to the ouster in a coup of their populist,

democratically elected President. Haunted by the ghosts of authoritarian

governments not long in the grave, countries like Brazil, Argentina and

Chile have argued that an election held by an illegal government is, by

definition, illegal, but the U.S.’s fingerprints are all over the coup as

Obama supports the oligarchy and dashes hopes for a new engagement

with Latin America. Andres Conteris, with the Program on the Americas,

Director for Nonviolence International & Coordinator of Democracy Now!

en Espanol also joins us from the Brazilian Embassy in Honduras where

President Zelaya has taken refuge.

Court Says No To Columbia University Seizing More Of

Manhattanville & West Harlem
with
Attorney Norman Siegel

In a case that breaks new ground, the appellate Division, found that the

proposed condemnation of a number of parcels of land to make way for

a new Columbia University campus should be rejected. While the case

will be headed to the States highest Court on appeal, it is an extremely

important decision against the use of eminent domain to grab ever

greater chucks of our neighborhoods for institutional expansion.
