Zelaya to be arrested “as soon as he sets foot on Honduran soil”
“Attorney General Luis Alberto Rubi said Zelaya would be arrested ‘as soon as he sets foot
on Honduran soil’ and faces at least 20 years in prison for treason, abuse of authority and other charges.
“‘We have already issued an international arrest warrant to capture the former president anywhere
in the world,’ he said.”
UN tells Honduras to reinstate president
By WILL WEISSERT, Associated Press Writer
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Honduras’ ousted president won overwhelming international support Tuesday as he planned a high-profile return to his chaotic country. The politicians who sent soldiers to shoot up his residence and fly him into exile in his pajamas said he will be arrested for treason if he tries.
The showdown was building to a climax as international leaders signed on to accompany President Manuel Zelaya on a flight to Honduras on Thursday. The U.N. General Assembly demanded Zelaya’s immediate restoration, and the Organization of American States was meeting to consider suspending Honduras for straying from democracy.
“The resolution that the United Nations has just adopted unanimously … expresses the indignation of the people of Honduras and of people worldwide,” a triumphant Zelaya told the assembly in New York. “This resolution is historic.”
