US Suspends Military Cooperation with Honduras

HeadlineJul 02, 2009

The Pentagon has suspended military cooperation with Honduras in response to the overthrow of the democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya. It’s the first major punitive action taken by the US since Zelaya was ousted last Sunday. The Obama administration has refused to legally classify Zelaya’s ouster as a coup, which would automatically trigger a suspension of aid. Meanwhile, as public outcry continues throughout Honduras, an overnight curfew has been toughened to allow the twenty-four-hour jailing of protesters without charge.
