Zelaya Criticizes
National Reconciliation Without Justice
TEGUCIGALPA - The coup-ousted president of
Honduras on Monday appealed for national
reconciliation with justice instead of one
without justice being done first.
Manuel Zelaya told local Radio Globo that he
agrees with the president-elect that
Honduras needs a reconciliation but it must
be done with justice.
"I agree with the reconciliation, but the
reconciliation is to make Honduras having
justice, for the law to be enforced in
Honduras," said Zelaya.
The ousted president, who has been staying
inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa
for safety, said that his rights as citizen
and elected president of Honduras were
violated.
Zelaya was ousted by a June 2009 coup and
was initially forced into exile in Costa
Rica.
The international community condemned the
coup and had demanded Zelaya's return to
power prior to Honduras' general elections
which were held in November last year.
President-elect Porfirio Lobo Sosa is
scheduled to be sworn in on Jan. 27. |
