Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS TEGUCIGALPA 002222 SIPDIS DEPT. FOR WHA/CEN, DS/OP/WHA E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PGOV, ASEC, PREL, PTER, PHUM, SOCI, HO SUBJECT: PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION OUTSIDE EMBASSY TEGUCIGALPA REGARDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF FATHER JIM CARNEY On September 17 approximately 100 demonstrators, mostly from the Popular Block, gathered peacefully outside the Embassy to protest the lack of information over the disappearance of leftist Jesuit priest, Father Jim Carney, (aka Father Guadalupe) in 1982-83. Father Guadalupe left the U.S. to come live and work with leftist guerrillas in Honduras. The demonstration was led by Joseph Connolly, brother-in-law of Father Guadalupe, who is also a U.S. citizen. Mr. Connolly delivered a letter addressed to the Ambassador demanding the Embassy release any documents it has relating to the priest's disappearance. Mr. Connolly then delivered an anti-U.S. speech to the crowed and led them in anti-U.S. slogans. PIERCE
