In the early morning hours of June 28, 2009, masked soldiers raided the Zelaya home. President Zelaya's daughter Xiomara Hortensia "Pichu" Zelaya hid under the bed as soldiers fired shots into the home. She soon went into exile and hadn't seen her home until Saturday. "When my dad heard the gunshots, he went out of his room and went to my room and told me to get dressed up because the military were coming," Pichu Zelaya says in an exclusive interview with Democracy Now! "And I heard the gunshots and everything. He told me to hide."
