Despite the widespread international rejection of the June 28 military coup that forcibly removed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya from power, de facto President Roberto Michelleti has enforced a 6pm to 6am military curfew on the entire country.
On Wednesday, the Organization of American States, demanded that President Zelaya be reinstated in no more than seventy two hours, threatening to expel Honduras from  its ranks. But in the capital city of Tegucigalpa, Michelleti declared that Zelaya would be detained if he chooses to return to Honduras.
In cities throughout the Central American country, increasing numbers of demonstrations have been organized by citizens who demand Zelaya´s return.  FSRN´s Tim Russo and Luz Ruiz report.
