The armed forces of Honduras arrested President Manuel Zelaya, on June 28, 2009, at his home [1] after he allegedly violated rulings of the Supreme Court of Honduras. Zelaya was held in an airbase outside Tegucigalpa [2] before being flown to Costa Rica. [3] During the action, communications and electricity were interrupted for about six hours. Later that day, the Honduran Supreme Court made public that it had ordered the removal of the president. [2] Roberto Micheletti, the head of Congress (and a member of the same party as Zelaya), who is in line to fill any vacancy in the presidency, was sworn in as President by the National Congress. [4] The event was greeted with applause in Congress, which had denounced Zelaya's repeated violations of the constitution and the law and disregard of orders and judgments of the institutions. [5]
