Thousands of supporters turned out to hear the ousted President speak at the Brazilian embassy


Thousands of supporters of Manuel Zelaya, the deposed President of Honduras, surrounded the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, last night, dancing and cheering the President, who was sheltering inside.

Chanting "Yes we could, yes we could", Mr Zelaya's supporters ignored a 26-hour curfew imposed by the interim government to remain outside the embassy, where Mr Zelaya took refuge after making a dramatic return to the capital on Monday

The government was taken by surprise Mr Zelaya's sudden return, and immediately suspended all flights to Tegucigalpa and ordered checkpoints to be set up on roads leading to the capital to keep his supporters from other regions.

Electricity was cut off for hours at a time on the block where the embassy is housed and in areas of Tegucigalpa where news media offices are located.
