Thousands March in Honduras for Zelaya’s Return
-----------------------------------------------



In Honduras, an estimated 5,000 people marched in the capital
Tegucigalpa Thursday in support of the ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
Protester Augusto Jimenez said the marches will continue until Zelaya is
restored to office.

Augusto Jimenez: “We’re protesting in the streets because we’re
condemning the brutal coup on the Honduran people. We’re asking for the
restitution of our president, who was elected by the majority of the
Honduran people. The only way that we will stop this resistance is for
President Zelaya to once again return to power in our country.”
