"Honduras won’t let envoys into country; Officials limit civil liberties" by Elisabeth Malkin, New York Times | September 28, 2009
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - The de facto government of Honduras expelled four diplomats from the Organization of American States yesterday and threatened to shut down the Brazilian Embassy, where the ousted president, Manuel Zelaya, has been holed up for a week....
The Brazilian government brushed off the threat. “Brazil will not comply with an ultimatum from a government of coup-mongers,’’ President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva told reporters at a meeting in Venezuela...
The interim leaders also suspended key civil liberties, empowering police and soldiers to break up “unauthorized’’ public meetings, arrest people without warrants, and restrict the news media.
How come Obama isn't hollering about this like he did about Iran?
Oh, right, U.S. supported this overthrow.
The announcement came just hours after Zelaya called on supporters to stage mass marches today marking the three-month anniversary of the June 28 coup that ousted him....
The diplomats were members of an advance team planning a visit of foreign ministers from member countries to try to negotiate an end to the political crisis. The organization had been invited by the de facto government to hold talks, then disinvited, and invited again before being turned back at the airport yesterday....
Kind of DISRESPECTFUL, isn't it?
