On Sunday June 28 a military coup took place in Honduras. The coup was led by the School of the Americas trainee Romeo Vasquez. The democratically elected president of Honduras Manuel Zelaya was taken into custody and soon after flown to Costa Rica. According to soaw.org, “The Honduran state television was taken off the air. The electricity supply to the capital Tegucigalpa, as well telephone and cell phone lines were cut. The people of Honduras are going into the streets. Labor unions are planning for a general strike. From Costa Rica, President Zelaya has called for a non-violent response from the people of Honduras, and for international solidarity for the Honduran democracy.” The WHINSEC/SOA has produced eleven Latin American dictators.
"The U.S. Army School of the Americas...is a school that has run more dictators than any other school in the history of the world."
- Congressman Joseph Kennedy
Recently the House of Representatives voted to force the Pentagon to release the names, rank, country of origin, courses and dates of attendance of WHINSEC’s graduates and instructors to the public. The amendment was approved with a 224 to 190 vote.
