Although this is no longer surprising when one thinks that currently no media in Honduras – radio, TV or press- has not been intevened by the government. Those which remain on air broadcast news from the perspective of the coup perpetrators, and the rest, the ones with a critical view were censured by the military at the same time that President Zelaya was being kidnapped and deported. This happened early in the morning, so that the silence of the night would soften what was going on, so that in the morning nobody could deny the simulated democracy led by the Congress, which attempted to legitimize the coup by appointing Roberto Micheletti as the interim President.

“Betrayal to the country” and “usurpation of authority” are precisely the charges of which the attorney general of Honduras, Luis Alberto Rubi accused President Zelaya. Rubi says the President will be arrested on these charges if he tries to return to the country, in which case he could face up to 20 years in prison for the purported crimes.

The authorities of the de facto regime are talking about respect to the law, to justify the coup d’état which attempted against the Latin american democracy in the 21st century.

But despite the attempts to silence what is going on, the idea that a president can lead the country without the citizens’ support, has neither been supported inside nor outside Honduras. While the people are demonstrating in the streets of the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, since the military stormed in the Presidential palace, demanding the reinstatement of the democratic rule.

Outside the country, the rejection to the coup was unanimous. Besides the measures taken by the Central American countries – which decided to interrupt the land trade with Honduras for 48 hours on Monday – and the breaking of diplomatic ties daopted by the countries of the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA), there is an ultimatum adopted yesterday by the OAS countries, demanding the resintatement of Zelaya in the next 72 hours.

The US decided to suspend all joint military activities with Honduras and the Bolivian President, Evo Morales, proposed to the OAS the creation of an Inter-American criminal court to try the military who staged the coup.

Several Latin American countries have called their ambassadors to consultations in Honduras, a measure also adopted by some European countries like France and Spain. Also, the latter announced it would propose the EU countries to withdraw their ambassadors to Honduras, until the government legitimately elected is reinstated.

Besides the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (ICHR) aims to send a mission to Honduras to study the reports of arbitrary detentions, aggressions, and threats against the people who are peacefully demonstrating in demand for the return of democracy.

Meanwhile, President Zelaya – who had claimed he would return to Honduras on Thursday – announced he would wait until the deadline set by the OAS, to return to his country. Thousands of people are waiting for him in the streets. They continue peacefully resisting the arms of the soldiers.
