Rasel Tomé, chief aide to former president Manuel Zelaya since he was ousted from power last summer, made a surprise visit to Honduras today, arriving on a flight at Tegucigalpa's Toncontín International airport at 12:30 pm. He and Mr. Zelaya, along with members of the Zelaya family, have been living in the Dominican Republic since January 27. Mr. Tomé, who accompanied Mr. Zelaya to Venezuela last Thursday to meet with President Hugo Chávez, was greeted by dozens of members of the National Resistance Front concerned about his possible arrest by government authorities. Mr. Tomé, who is an attorney, was charged in March 2009 with abuse of authority related to the assigning of frequencies to Channel 8 and Channel 12 television stations when he was the director of the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) in the Zelaya administration.
