CRISIS IN HONDURAS
Honduras Anti-coup Protests on Day 7
Tegucigalpa - Honduras Popular Resistance Front on
Saturday continues to protest the military
coup that on Sunday ousted President Manuel Zelaya and drew worldwide condemnation.
Protests are taking place amid a tense
climate worsened by the de facto
government's refusal to obey a call from the
Organization of American States to restore
constitutional order in the Central American
nation.
Former Chilean foreign minister and current
OAS secretary general Jose Miguel Inzulsa on
Friday ratified OAS condemnation of the
military coup, and urged coup leaders to
restore constitutional President Manuel
Zelaya.
In turn, he said, the representatives of the
de facto government handed in documents
containing accusations against Zelaya, as
some of their pretexts to justify the coup.
Asked about Zelaya's announced return on
Sunday, Insulza made no comments and pointed
out it Zelaya�s personal decision. |
