TEGUCIGALPA - Ousted Honduran President 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.
Between 3,000 and 4,000 Zelaya supporters gathered outside the main UN building in the capital shouting "Yes, we did it!" after a senior Zelaya aide said the president was holed up there.

If he leaves the embassy shoot him.
First, they should break diplomatic relations with Brazil, the U.S and anybody else helping that fat toad. Next, they should peel him out of Brazil’s grip. Then they should shoot the son of a bitch, filming the execution. And then send a DVD [playable on Americian machines] to Il Douche and the wicked Witch of the East at Foggy Bottom, as a sort of KMA!
The Honduran people only need to hold out till November.
I could not possibly agree more!!!
I like your idea!
It was NOT a “coup”!........................
He was obviously smuggled in; Brazil wouldn’t have done this on its own, so I’d say our very own State Department (cat’s paw of Bambi himself) arranged this. I’m disgusted.
In my opinion this is an act of war. They should close the Brazilian embassy. No one comes in. They can leave but they have to pass through a Honduran checkpoint.
And a "how to" for Americans should we ever decide freedom is worth fighting for.
Let’s see: Honduran drugs travel through Brazil. Follow the money.
The Hondorans have, to date, exhibited admirable adherence to the rule of law. They would spoil that record if they engaged in excesses. Probably the best thing they can do is to tightly control access to the Brazilian embassy and arrest the SOB when he tries to get out.
By the way, 0bama was informed that there was a border incident in the Amazon and that two Brazilian soldiers had been killed. “Really”, he replied, “how many trillions are there in a Brazilian?”. (See tagline)
Time to put a tent over the embassy and fumigate.
Time to shell the Brazilian embassy.
There was a report earlier from the true government that this was a rumor started by two presstitute supporters of the ousted one.
Honduras should close its embassy in Brazil, recall all of its diplomatic personnel from Brazil, break off diplomatic relations with Brazil and give Brazil 24 hours to close its embassy and every other Brazilian diplomatic office in Honduras, arrest Zelaya (who obviously crossed over Honduran sovereign property to get to an embassy in the Honduran capitol and thereby involved the Brazilians in criminal activity of a sort not protected by diplomaic immunity) and if there is any interference, Zelaya can be shot to death escaping or arriving or whatever. If Ugo does not like it, toooo baaaaad. Diployak and its practitioners are SUCH a total nuisance.
and if the power, water, gas and sewer service to the Brazilian Embassy were all to spontaneously fail, oh well...
(it is, after all, a small developing country)
How sad that in less than one year the man sitting in the White House has thrown away America’s hard earned crown as the Champion of Freedom and is misusing his authority to turn the country into the greatest force for promotion of tyranny and socialism.
And sadder still that the legislature, courts and media are rolling over for him as he throws our heritage away.
First, I agree that they should cordon the embassy, then break relations with the Brazilians, and give their embassy staff a deadline for leaving the country. If dumbass tries to leave with them, arrest him. Otherwise, let him remain in the empty embassy, with no water, food, communications, or anything else in or out.
If he tries to leave, immediately arrest him. If this is done in an orderly manner, even if the Brazilians have stockpiled food in the embassy, there he will sit until November. Just two months, so they shouldn’t demand too much of him or try to take him by force.
Being cut off from the media will be worse for him than anything else. And of course, having a beard and stinking will not help, either.
The current Honduran government is denying this.
Its funny. One of the big complaints about the way Zelaya’s ouster was conducted was the fact that he didn’t get his day in court. Which is true, of course.
But easily rectified. All he has to do is step outside the embassy and he’ll get his day in court. Easy. Just step outside.
But he doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry to do it. He wants to be imposed on the Hondurans by a foreign power. Any foreign power, he’s not particular.
The best solution.
If Brazil made the decision to interfere in the internal affairs of a host country, they should suffer the consequences.
