Honduras' De Facto Government Reaffirms
Willingness To Offer Safeguard to Zelaya
TEGUCIGALPA -
The Honduran de facto government reaffirmed
on Wednesday its willingness to provide a
safeguard for ousted President Manuel Zelaya
after he leaves the Brazilian embassy in
Tegucigalpa where he has been taking refugee
since Sept. 21.
The safeguard will be provided as long as
"all the requirements of the international
law are fulfilled," Carlos Lopez Contreras,
Honduran de facto foreign minister said. He
denied that the offer was made due to the
request of the Dominican Republic to give
Zelaya asylum.
Zelaya attempted to travel to Mexico with a
safeguard on Dec. 9. However, at the last
minute he rejected it because the de facto
government imposed conditions on his
departure, saying he must sign a letter
dropping his demand to be reinstated.
Meanwhile, Zelaya's advisor Rassel Tome said
that Zelaya will spend Christmas at the
embassy.
