The coup regime in Honduras has suspended the following parts of its constitution for the next 45 days, according to Al Giordano at NarcoNews:

Article 69: Personal liberty is inviolable and only through law can it be restricted or suspended temporarily.
Article 72: The expression of thought by any media, without censorship, is free. Those who interfere with this right or through direct or indirect means restrict or impede the communication and circulation of ideas and opinions will held responsible by the law.
Article 81: Every person has the right to circulate freely, leave, enter and remain in national territory.
No one can be obligated to move from his home or residence except in special cases in accord with the law.
Article 84: No one can be arrested or detained except through written order by competent authorities, executed through legal formalities and for motives established by law.
Notwithstanding, open delinquency can be apprehended by any person only to deliver the delinquent to the authorities.
The arrested or detained person must be informed clearly of his rights and the facts of the accusations against him, and, additionally, authorities must permit him to communicate his detention to a family member or person of his choice.
Well, that's pretty comprehensive. Imagine Bush doing this with 90 days left to go in the 2008 presidential election. The election is on November 29, so candidates opposed to the coup simply cannot campaign until mid-October. Would you call that a free election?
Note that the anti-coup candidates will not include Zelaya. This entire coup was directed against them, and the citizens rallying behind them.
The entire decree is translated at Giordano's article linked above, and bans any public meetings not authorized by the regime, and any media criticism of the government. It allows anyone to be detained if "found outside of the established orders of circulation".
Anything to anyone at anytime. Yes, they acted to save the Constitution
