Honduras urged by EU to avoid violenceHonduras urged by EU to avoid violence

The European Union has added its voice to appeals for calm in Honduras after the dramatic return of ousted president Manuel Zelaya raised fears of violence. An EU statement called on Mr Zelaya and the interim government to negotiate an end to the three-month crisis. Thousands of people defied a curfew to demonstrate their support for Mr Zelaya outside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa where he has taken refuge. Interim leader Roberto Micheletti insisted Mr Zelaya should face trial. The daring return of Mr Zelaya took officials by surprise, with Mr Micheletti at first denying the deposed leader was in the country. A round-the-clock curfew until Tuesday evening was imposed.Note EU-Digest: The situation is very tense in Honduras and there are reports that there also is unrest within the military ranks.
