TEGUCIGALPA - O presidente deposto de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, pode permanecer na embaixada brasileira na capital hondurenha, Tegucigalpa, o tempo que achar necessário, disse o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva nesta sexta-feira.

-- The ousted president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, can stay in the Brazilian Embassy in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, as long as he deems necessary, said President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Friday.

Zelaya, que foi deposto em 28 de junho, retornou ao país na segunda-feira e se abrigou na embaixada para evitar sua prisão, enquanto pede por sua volta ao poder.

-- Zelaya, who was ousted on June 28, returned to the country on Monday and entered the embassy to evade being arrested while he seeks his return to power.

I guess the Honduras Government can surround the Brazilian Embassy with a fence, and put guards around it, monitor closely who goes in and out. This is what Cuba and communist countries did when their citizens started seeking asylum in foreign embassies.
