Honduras army chief urges talks

The head of the Honduran armed forces, who oversaw the removal of President Manuel Zelaya from the country, has urged talks on the political crisis.

Gen Romeo Vasquez Velasquez told reporters he was confident that the political stand-off could be resolved.

Mr Zelaya made a dramatic return from exile on 21 September and is holed up in the Brazilian embassy.

The interim government is meanwhile coming under pressure to revoke a decree that suspended civil liberties.

Members of Congress have indicated they will act to rescind the order if the government of interim leader Roberto Micheletti does not.

1. Strikes me that the decree is not aimed at the protesters.
They have already been beating up on the poor with impunity. The decree is aimed at the middle and upper classes. Notice the comments about treatment and documentation. They are getting ready for attorneys and courtrooms.
