Honduras president detained, sent to Costa Rica, official says

Referendum could set stage to create assembly to write new constitution
Zelaya recently fired top commander for failing to support referendum
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (CNN) -- Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya arrived in Costa Rica on Sunday after a military-led coup, a Honduran government official told CNN.

The Honduran military arrested Zelaya early Sunday morning, the same day he vowed to follow through with a referendum that Honduras' Supreme Court had ruled illegal.

"They detained the president and sent him out of the country," the government official said.

A military team entered the president's residence and met resistance from Zelaya's guards, the official said.

The official at first said Zelaya was injured, but later said it appeared he had not been.

Military guards were seen walking around the capital, but there appeared to be no unrest, according to Radio America.

Zelaya, a leftist elected in 2005, has found himself pitted against the other branches of government and military leaders over the issue of Sunday's planned referendum. It would ask voters to place a measure on November's ballot allowing the formation of a constitutional assembly that could modify the nation's charter to allow the president to run for another term.

His four-year term ends in January 2010, and he cannot run for re-election under current law.

The Honduras Supreme Court had ruled the poll illegal, and Congress and the top military brass agreed, but Zelaya had remained steadfast.

In the end, it appeared the opposition to Zelaya was too great.

The military confiscated the ballots from the presidential residence, in effect canceling the disputed vote.

Meanwhile, the state-run television news station was taken off the air, and there were reports of cell phones and electricity interruptions in parts of the country.

In Tegucigalpa, a growing crowd, including families with children, gathered outside of the presidential residence. Video showed soldiers walking down some of the streets of the capital, and military helicopters flew overhead.

Sunday's events followed a tumultuous week in Honduras, a country where 70 percent of the population lives in poverty.

At the crux of the current political crisis was the referendum. After the Supreme Court ruled the poll illegal, the country's top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vasquez Velasquez, told the president that the military would not support the referendum.

In response, Zelaya fired Vasquez on Wednesday.

The next day, the Supreme Court stepped in again and ruled that the general's dismissal was unconstitutional. Initially, Zelaya referred to the court as the "Supreme Court of Injustice," but later said that Vasquez still held his military post.

Determined to hold the referendum, the president on Thursday led a protest to the military base where the ballots were being housed and took possession of them -- the same ballots that the military seized Sunday morning.

The military ruled Honduras for 25 years, until a democratically elected civilian government came to power in 1982.

Zelaya narrowly won the presidency in 2005 with 49.8 percent of the vote to 46.1 percent for Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo.

Honduran leader forced into exile



Troops in Honduras have detained the president and flown him out of the country after a power-struggle over plans to change the constitution.

President Manuel Zelaya was flown to Costa Rica from an air force base outside the capital, Tegucigalpa.

Mr Zelaya, elected for a non-renewable four-year term in January 2006, wanted a vote to extend his time in office.

His arrest came just before the start of a referendum ruled illegal by the Supreme Court and opposed by Congress.

There was also resistance within Mr Zelaya's own party to the plan to hold the vote.

Reuters news agency reports that police fired teargas at about 500 supporters of Mr Zelaya who had gathered outside the presidential palace.

'Arrested in pajamas'

Protesters reportedly hurled rocks at the soldiers, shouting "Traitors", AP news agency reports, as tanks rolled through the streets and air force jets flew over the capital.

“ This was a plot by a very voracious elite, which wants to keep this country in an extreme level of poverty ”

Early on Sunday, witnesses saw dozens of troops surround Mr Zelaya's residence.

In other developments:

• At an emergency meeting in Washington, the Organization of American States condemned what it called a "coup" in Honduras

• Mr Zelaya's ally, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, blamed "the Yankee empire"

• US President Barack Obama called on Honduras to "respect democratic norms, the rule of law"; the EU condemned Mr Zelaya's arrest

From Costa Rica, Mr Zelaya told Venezuelan TV that Honduran soldiers had arrested him in his pyjamas.

"I'm in San Jose in Costa Rica," he said. "I've been the victim of a kidnapping by a group of Honduran soldiers.

"This was a plot by a very voracious elite, an elite which wants only to keep this country isolated, in an extreme level of poverty. It doesn't care about the people, it's not sensitive to them."

The military's dramatic move came after President Zelaya defied a court order that he should re-instate the chief of the army, Gen Romeo Vasquez.

The president sacked Gen Vasquez late on Wednesday for refusing to help him organise the referendum.

Mr Zelaya, who under current regulations leaves office next January, also accepted the resignation of the defence minister.

'US opposed coup'

The referendum was to ask the population if they approved of a formal vote next November on whether to rewrite the Honduran constitution.

On Thursday, the Honduran Congress approved plans to investigate whether the president should be declared unfit to rule.

In an interview with Spain's El Pais newspaper published on Sunday, Mr Zelaya said a planned coup against him had been thwarted after the US refused to back it.

"Everything was in place for the coup and if the US embassy had approved it, it would have happened. But they did not," Mr Zelaya said.

The arrest of Mr Zelaya took place an hour before polls were due to open.

Ballot boxes and other voting materials had been distributed by Mr Zelaya's supporters and government employees throughout the Central American country.

The president has vowed to transform Honduras, saying the system currently favours the wealthy elite. But his opponents accused him of seeking to rule indefinitely.

Honduras - an impoverished coffee and banana-exporting nation of more than 7 million people - has experienced military coups in the past.

Soldiers overthrew elected presidents in 1963 and again in 1975; the military did not turn the government over to civilians until 1981.

El ejército hondureño ha protagonizado un golpe de Estado la mañana de este domingo: secuestró al presidente Manuel Zelaya para llevarlo en avión hasta una base aérea en Costa Rica.

Esto sucede el mismo día en que el presiente Zelaya se disponía a realizar un consulta popular en cuanto a si los hondureños apoyarían una modificación a la Carta Magna sobre la reelección presidencial, tema que provocó desacuerdos entre el Gobierno, grupos opositores y las Fuerzas Armadas.

“Se trata de una manipulación de una elite voraz que tienen control en el Congreso y que prácticamente maneja el país a su antojo: no menciono nombres para no provocar un daño, pero son 6 ó 7 personas que están haciendo un daño increíble a Honduras”, explicó el mismo Zelaya al noticiero de la cadena venezolana Telesur desde Costa Rica.

Según la transmisión de Telesur, la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) se reúne de emergencia para tratar el tema y allí el representante venezolano anunció el secuestro de los embajadores de Cuba, Venezuela y Nicaragua por parte de un grupo armado en Honduras.

José Miguel Insulza, secretario general de la OEA, dijo que Zelaya fue llevado solo y fue dejado en la base aérea costarricense en pijamas, mientras el presidente de Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, le comunicaba que está siendo atendido por las autoridades de Gobierno y no a pedido asilo político.

Presidente Morales condena golde de Estado en Honduras
28 Jun 2009 11:48

LA PAZ, jun 28 (Reuters) - El mandatario boliviano, Evo Morales, expresó el domingo su respaldo a su par hondureño Manuel Zelaya, e instó a otros países a condenar el "golpe de estado militar" en el país centroamericano.

Soldados de Honduras detuvieron el domingo a Zelaya, al desatarse una crisis política por sus intentos de promover una reelección, dijeron funcionarios del Gobierno.

"Hago un llamado a los organismos internacionales, a los movimientos sociales de Latinoamérica y del mundo, hago un llamado a presidentes y Gobiernos democráticos a condenar, a repudiar este golpe de estado militar en Honduras", dijo Morales en una conferencia de prensa en La Paz.

Las tropas detuvieron a Zelaya de la casa presidencial en Tegucigalpa el domingo temprano, dijo a Reuters el secretario privado de la presidencia Eduardo Reina.

Los militares con equipamiento de combate rodeaban el domingo la residencia del mandatario, mientras dos aviones de guerra cruzaban los cielos de la capital Tegucigalpa, según testigos de Reuters.

"Ya no estamos en tiempo de dictadura. Lo que está pasando en Honduras es una aventura de un grupo de militares que atenta contra la democracia y contra el pueblo y por eso este llamado a condenar y condeno ese acto golpista con un secuestro del presidente Zelaya," dijo.

El presidente venezolano, Hugo Chávez, aseguró el domingo que junto a sus aliados en Cuba, Bolivia y Nicaragua abortarán el "golpe troglodita" en Honduras "desde dentro y desde fuera".

Zelaya había aceptado la semana pasada la renuncia del ministro de Defensa y despidió al jefe del Estado Mayor porque se negó a ayudarle a organizar una consulta popular sobre la posibilidad de reformar la constitución para poder reelegirse.

La consulta fue declarada ilegal por la justicia y había despertado rechazo incluso de partidarios del mismo Zelaya. La Corte Suprema ordenó restituir al jefe del Estado Mayor en su cargo. REUTERS EG LEA

Caracas, Venezuela, 28 June 2009. The democratically elected President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, has been abducted by the local Air Force from the government Palace at Tegucigalpa early this morning. The kidnapping took place on the very same day Honudurans would vote over a referendum call for a Constituent Assembly. Such political initiative caused opposition at some conservative cadress and the destitution of the Chief of the Honduran Army Romeo Vásquez Velásquez. The ongoing coup has been fueled by military sectors that opposed the attempt to change presidential terms by a Constittutional reform.

Pro government supporters of President Manuel Zelaya have been protesting at the presidential palace and confronted military personnel. Power supply has been disrupted.

Only two days ago, OAS had expressed concern over ottempts to ovewrthorow the democratically elected government in Honduras.
