Honduran Congress Rejects Zelaya Return

HeadlineDec 03, 2009

In Honduras, lawmakers have overwhelmingly rejected the restoration of the ousted president Manuel Zelaya. On Wednesday, the Honduran Congress voted 114 to 14 to ratify its earlier decision to remove Zelaya after he was overthrown in a military coup. Zelaya had agreed to the new vote as part of a deal to end his standoff with the coup regime. The vote threatens to derail the agreement, which also calls for the formation of a unity government for the remainder of Zelaya’s term. The coup regime says it will arrest Zelaya if he leaves the Brazilian embassy, where he’s taken refuge since returning from exile in September.
