From the BBC:

The interim leader of Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, has said civil liberties could soon be restored in the country.

They were suspended in response to a call for protests by deposed President Manuel Zelaya, who remains holed up in the Brazilian embassy in the capital.

Snip.

The emergency measures were put in place after Mr Zelaya urged his supporters to converge on Tegucigalpa in what he called a “final offensive”.

They allow unauthorised public meetings to be banned and news media to be temporarily closed down and were intended to last 45 days.

Snip.

On Sunday, the interim government gave Brazil 10 days to either grant Mr Zelaya asylum or hand him over. Mr Micheletti said Brazil could lose its right to a diplomatic mission in Honduras.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he would ignore the threat but the UN Undersecretary General for Political Affairs said they were “a very serious problem”.

“It would be a disaster if any action were taken to violate international law on the inviolability of the embassies,” said Lynn Pascoe.

So any Hondurans who might be reading this, what is going on in your country? I don’t really trust the golpistas, but I’m worried that there is no positive outcome possible from this stalemate.
