The former president was (and is) NOT law-abiding; his attempt to overthrow the government in-place may well-be called treason... it was, once, quite common to hang traitors.

He certainly wasn't, and those who removed him were and are.

I don't know whether Honduras' laws call for hanging traitors or not. Whatever it is, it's their country and their laws. I would assume if the law said to execute him they would have followed the law.
