TEGUCIGALPA, August 2.— Another teacher was murdered today in Honduras when he returned to his house in the capital after attending the wake of teacher Róger Vallejo, killed by a bullet to the head last Thursday.

Leaders of teaching unions identified the victim as Martín Florencio Rivera Barrientos. He was stabbed 25 times at 03:00 local time according to the first reports obtained by the union.

Milton Bardales affirmed that Rivera Barrientos’ sole enemies are the authors of the military coup of June 28: Roberto Micheletti, president of the de facto government, and General Romeo Vásquez, commander of the armed forces.

It is part of a campaign of intimidation against the teachers union, the largest and most organized in the country, he noted.

In Managua, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega today called for the punishment of those who ordered the crimes perpetrated in recent days against the Honduran population.

Ortega was speaking in an assembly in Granada, 45 kilometers southeast of Managua, where he presented inhabitants with 1,500 property titles.

In the Nicaraguan capital, Honduran President José Manuel Zelaya stated that he had evidence that Venezuelan and U.S. right-wing elements were involved in the coup in his country, Telesur reported.

In a statement to the TV channel, Zelaya noted that Robert Carmona, a Venezuelan coup leader residing in the United States, was one of the individuals promoting the coup and designed repressive actions against the Honduran people.

He also quoted Otto Reich, former assistant secretary of state during the George W. Bush administration who, according to a recording in Zelaya’s possession, declares himself in favor of the coup.
