More clashes between Zelaya supporters and security forces in Honduras

Manuel Zelaya is intensifying his efforts to return to power in Honduras. Yesterday the deposed President visited Brazilian President Lula da Silva and called on the United States to impose trade sanctions on the de-facto government.

Meanwhile in Honduras, Zelaya supporters clashed with local security forces for the second day.  Demonstrators threw rocks at Honduran police who blocked them from reaching the Honduran Congress. Police dispersed them with tear gas and batons detaining at least 40 protesters. Reporter Tim Russo is in Tegucigalpa, where he has been closely following the action.  FSRN spoke with Russo Thursday.
