Honduran Soldiers Break Up Protests Outside Brazilian Embassy

Honduran soldiers have broken up protests staged outside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa and continue to surround the building where deposed President Manuel Zelaya has taken refuge.

The protestors, who had been violating a curfew imposed by the interim government led by Roberto Micheletti, arrived at the embassy to show their support for Zelaya but were quickly dispersed when soldiers fired tear gas into the crowd.

Zelaya was ousted in a military coup on June 28 and had been planning his return to Honduras for nearly three months. He has been warned by the interim government that if he were to return he would be arrested and his arrival on Monday came as a shock to many.

Speaking from the Brazilian embassy Zelaya told the Venezuelan broadcaster Telesur, “The embassy is surrounded by police and the military... I foresee bigger acts of aggression and violence, that they could be capable of even invading the Brazilian embassy.”

Since learning of Zelaya’s return to Honduras several countries have called for the country to remain calm and open a shared dialogue between the two sides, hoping a resolution can be reached.
