* No se han esclarecido las circunstancias por las que falleció Cesar Ham
* Indican que se enfrentó al pelotón que llegó a su vivienda para detenerlo

Tegucigalpa, 28 de junio .- El líder popular Cesar Ham, congresista por el partido Unificación Democrática de Honduras, murió hoy al momento en que iba a ser arrestado en su casa, confirmaron fuentes policiales.

En medio de los reportes sobre el golpe de Estado contra el presidente de Honduras, Manuel Zavala, detenido esta mañana por militares en su residencia de Tegucigalpa y trasladado a Costa Rica, la policía confirmó la muerte del popular líder hondureño.

Pese a que aún no están claras las circunstancias de la muerte de Ham, la versión oficial es que se resistió a ser arrestado y se enfrentó con una pistola al pelotón que llegó a su vivienda para detenerlo, por lo que tuvo que ser liquidado.

Cesar Ham, de unos 50 años de edad, era dirigente popular y fiel seguidor del presidente Zelaya y uno de los organizadores de la consulta ciudadana que se iba a realizar este domingo y que aparentemente sirvió de pretexto para el golpe de Estado.

I can understand. The arrest and deportation and now assassination of the only leftist candidate left is not acceptable.

I posted an English-language article, but it was moved out of LBN for some reason: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/bananas/924

(My translation)

* The circumstance surrounding the death of Cesar Ham have not been clarified.

* There are indications he confronted the squad that arrived to arrest him.

Tegucigalpa, July 28 .- The popular leader Cesar Ham, congressman of the Democratic Unification Party of Honduras, died today at the moment he was to be arrested at his house, as confirmed by police sources.

Among reports on the coup d'etat against the president of Honduras, Manuel Zavala, detained this morning by the military at his residence in Tegucigalpa and transported to Costa Rica, police confirmed the death of the popular Honduran leader.

Despite the fact that the circumstances of Ham have not been been established, the official version is that he resisted arrest and confronted the military squad that arrived at his residence to arrest him with a gun in his hand, for which reason it was necessary to liquidate him.

Cesar Ham, 50 years old, was a popular and faithful follower of President Zelaya and one of his organizers on the citizens council that was to take place this Sunday and that apparently served as pretext for the coup d'etat.

Only semi-significance between your translation and how I read it was that I took "ser" as "being" instead of "to be." i think the difference could be meaningful, in that if he died the moment he was "to be" arrested, the two things seem unconnected - he died at the moment they were to get him. Whereas my interpretation is he died while being arrested. Spanish is my second language, I'm not correcting, just asking.

it would help to post in English.

Geesh!

You learn slowly.

The news source was Spanish language, and is a different site than this article.

Haven't you learned anything in the last 8 years?

it would help to have some patience.

* The circumstances of his death are unclear
* The indication is that he died in an altercation with forces that arrived at his home to arrest him.

That's the takeaway. The coup plotters went in and killed the leftist politician most likely to succeed Zelaya.

Still, we have no way to know if this- or the original source- is a credible site.

murio al momento en que iba a ser arrestado - died at the moment he was being arrested!!

well know, and highly popular leftist living to run. Who benefits, I wonder?

Only idiots who attempt to lie others into believing this was exactly as reported in the right-wing oligarchy controlled media.

Sensible people know better by instinct, and common sense.

Stupid people always assume the people they are trying to flim-flam are as stupid as they are. They CAN'T create situations which are difficult to see through.

They're just too dirty to do things the right way. Best wishes to the people of the Americas as they slowly pry these criminals out of the positions of power they covet and will kill to control.

It should not have been moved out of LBN.
