Honduran President Manuel Zelaya Rosales was overthrown by the US-backed military coup of 28 June 2009. “During the six months of the Micheletti dictatorship [installed by the coup], some 4,200 human rights violations were documented, more than 40 members of the anti-coup resistance were murdered, five youth were massacred during peaceful marches, and over 3,000 were detained. . . . Since Lobo’s inauguration [after the demonstration elections of 29 November 2009], social organizations have documented more than 700 politically motivated assaults, including the murders of 12 popular leaders and 9 journalists” (“Honduras está sumida en su peor crisis a un año del golpe de Estado,” TeleSur, 28 June 2010.).
