Bertha Oliva is the Founder and Coordinator of the Committee of Relatives of the Disappeared in Honduras. COFADEH, by its Spanish initials, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to the fight against impunity and memory of the victims of forced disappearances. Their goof friend was killed during the kidnapping as well.

I am living through a tough time that one can only experience under a military dictatorship. They've suspended our personal freedoms, and now they are using the Army to repress the public reaction to that at the request of a man who declared himself president. It's shocking how today at 10:30 in the morning, in San Pedro Sula, there was a march that combined calls for Zelaya's return with calls for the recognition of our personal freedoms. They broke it up as only they can. They view those who demand their rights as if they were enemies.
