The armed forces of Honduras arrested President Manuel Zelaya, on June 28, 2009, at his home after he allegedly violated rulings of the Supreme Court of Honduras. Zelaya was held in an airbase outside Tegucigalpa before being flown to Costa Rica. During the action, communications and electricity were interrupted for about six hours. Later that day, the Honduran Supreme Court made public that it had ordered the removal of the president. Roberto Micheletti, the head of Congress (and a member of the same party as Zelaya), who is in line to fill any vacancy in the presidency, was sworn in as President by the National Congress. The event was greeted with applause in Congress, which had denounced Zelaya's repeated violations of the constitution and the law and disregard of orders and judgments of the institutions.
