Yesterday a Honduran named 'Dario' left a comment on this post at IKN. I sent him a mail and asked him if he'd like to reply giving a bit of information about the situation in his part of the country. I asked him to write in Spanish and that I'd translate. Here below is what he's just written back to me, faithfully translated. He left me his cellular phone number. I'm not going to publish it here, but if any accredited journalist would like it then send me a mail. Here's Dario:

Hello and thanks for answering the message. Look, I want to tell you that the situation is still precarious and that the repression from this de facto government led by dinosaurs is getting bigger. Last night (Tuesday night) and a few minutes ago the red dinosaur Michelleti and his cavemen subalterns addressed the nation on all TV and radio stations, giving out totally false information. Of course we know, those of us who are here know the true story. We have no access to communications and the only information presented is that which helps the coupmongers.
I inform you that in communities such as El Progreso, department of Yoro they have ordered forced military recruitment aimed mostly at youths (to use them as a barricade in any confrontation). Also, in the department of Olancho (the biggest in the country and the home territory of Zelaya) they have repressed people who were travelling to the capital in buses, beating them and forcing them off the buses and shooting through the bus tires.
In San Pedro Sula, the place where I live, they have given an order to depose the mayor of the city (who was one of the mayors allied to Zelaya) and have issued an arrest warrant for him. They are trying to replace him with one William Hall (strangely the cousin of Michelleti).
I hope this is useful to you, and anything else I have I'll inform you. All the same, if you need something send a mail or phone me, my number is open 24/7, (504) 9*******
Yours, Dario
UPDATE: Here's the original Spanish mail from Dario...you can check my translation if you like :-):

Hola y gracias por responder el mensaje, mira quiero informarte que la situacion sigue en precariedad y que la represion por parte de este gobierno de facto mandado por los dinosaurios es cada vez mayor, anoche y hace unos minutos se han transmitido cadenas de radio y television por parte de este dinosaurio rojo michelleti y de sus cabernicolas subordinados, comentando informacion totalmente falsa, puesto que como sabemos los que estamos aqui conocemos la realidad, no tenemos acceso a la comunicacion y solo se presenta la informacion qeu ayuda a los golpistas.
te informo que en comunidades como El Progreso, departamento de Yoro se han comunicado reclutamientos forzados por parte de los militares orientados mas que todo a los menores (para utilizarlos como barricada en cualquier confrontamiento) tambien en el departametno de Olancho (el mas grande del pais y el de originario de el sr Zelaya) se ha reprimido a los pobladores que se dirigian en buses a la capital, y fueron bajados a golpes de las unidades y las mismas (buses) recibieron balasos en sus llantas.
en SPS lugar donde vivo, se ha dado una orden de deponer al alcalde de la ciudad (quien era uno de los mayores aliados a Zelaya) y se le ha dado orden de captura, y se intenta poner en su lugar a William Hall (extrañamente sobrino de Michellety)
espero esto te sea util, y cualquier cosa que tenga te la informo, al igual si necesitas algo me envias un mensje o me llamas, mi numero esta encendido las 24hrs, (504) 97********
saludos
att. Dario
