Coup in Honduras: Military Ousts President Manuel Zelaya Democracy Now 6/29/2009 1 of 2

In the first military coup in Central America in a quarter of a century the Honduran military has ousted the democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya. Former Parliamentary speaker Roberto Micheletti who was sworn in as Zelayas replacement on Sunday has imposed a two-day nation-wide curfew.

We go to Honduras to speak with Honduran medical doctor and award-winning human rights activist, Dr. Juan Almendares and NYU professor of Professor of Latin American History, Greg Grandin.
