Honduran Prosecutor Seeks Charges Against Military Leaders

HeadlineJan 07, 2010

In Honduras, the chief national prosecutor is seeking to charge top military leaders over their role in the ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya last June. On Wednesday, the prosecutor, Luis Alberto Rubi, asked the Supreme Court to approve arrest warrants charging military commanders with abuse of power. Zelaya was forced out of Honduras at gunpoint and replaced by a coup regime. The case would mark the first legal action against the military since Zelaya’s ouster. The Supreme Court is unlikely to approve the warrants, having issued several rulings backing the coup. The Honduran president-elect, Porfirio Lobo, has also called for amnesty for all coup leaders.
