Manuel Zelaya has taken refuge inside the Brazilian embassy in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa, Telesur television network reported Monday. Zelaya had announced Monday he returned to Honduras almost three months after he was toppled in a coup, despite warnings he would be arrested.
The U.S. State Department confirmed that Zelaya, an ally of Venezuela’s socialist President Hugo Chavez, was back in Honduras but the Central American country’s de facto ruler denied Zelaya had returned.
“I am here in Tegucigalpa. I am here for the restoration of democracy, to call for dialogue.” Zelaya told Honduras’ Canal 36 television network.
