These photos seem to prove that a pro-coup newspaper digitally removed bloodstains from the image of a protester shot dead by soldiers.

Isis Obeth Murillo, 19, a young anti-coup protestor from ousted President Manuel Zelaya’s home state of Olancho, died after being shot in the head at the airport during Zelaya’s unsuccessful attempt to return to Tegucigalpa on Sunday. The image of his friends carrying him has become an iconic image for anti-coup protestors, who say that the army is enforcing a brutal crackdown in the country, largely covered up by the media.

RE: My Statement on the S.F. 8 Plea Agreement

First, I would like to thank all my friends and supporters for their tenacious and tireless work in support of the SF 8, especially the San Francisco 8 Support Committee, Committee in Defense of Human Rights, Asian-Americans for the S.F. 8, Freedom Archives, and many others. I wish to thank the excellent legal team whose unwavering commitment to the task was inspiring. I especially want to thank the lawyers who did the majority of the behind-the-scenes legwork by name: Soffiyah Elijah, Jenny Kang, Julie de Almeida, Heather Hardwick, Rai Sue Sussman, and Lori Flowers. This team of women suffering the testosterone of as many as ten male lead attorneys, plus the eight men accused, truly had their feminist code tested. Naturally, I want to thank the most noted private investigators, Adam Raskin and Nancy Pemberton, whose investigative technique and services were outstanding.

Viva Palestina US

Today, the group will be splitting up. Some of us will head north to another city and purchase the vehicles that we will make up the convoy to Gaza. The other half will stay in Cairo to continue packing aid and will meet us in Al Arish, the city right by the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian side. The supplies are packed and the people are ready to push ahead. More to come, the real mission begins today….
