Demonstrators in
Honduras Take to the Streets to Condemn Military
Coup
Tegucigalpa, June 28, (RHC).-
Thousands of people have taken to the streets of
Tegucigalpa and other cities of Honduras to
condemn the right-wing military coup staged
early Sunday morning in the Central American
country. There are reports that demonstrators
are surrounding the Presidential Palace in
Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, demanding the
return of constitutionally-elected President
Manuel Zelaya.
Protesters shouted at the heavily-armed soldiers
standing guard, calling on them to carry out a
coup against their military commanders and not
the people.
Military helicopters are hovering over the area
of the Honduran capital and electricity and
telephone service has been cut since early
Sunday morning when the military coup was
carried out. |
