Curfew Extended in Honduras

TEGUCIGALPA.— The de facto authorities in Honduras have extended the curfew until next Friday, according to a communiqué from the secretary for information and the press, according to AFP.

The curfew will last from 9.00pm until 5.ooam, says the communiqué.

For their part, popular leaders denounced that the soldiers controlling the country have detained numerous supporters and former officials of the defeated President Zelaya without due legal process.

While the international community is unanimously called for Manuel Zelaya’s return to his post, this Tuesday the coup faction put out an international warrant for his arrest, accusing him on 18 charges, including betrayal of his country, corruption and abuse of authority.
