TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Honduras' president ordered striking school teachers back to work Friday following clashes with police that left one teacher dead and two others injured.

The teachers are demanding better conditions as well as the return of ousted former President Manuel Zelaya.

Assistant principal Ilse Velasquez, 59, died from head injuries, Hospital Escuela spokeswoman Lilia Leiva said. Velasquez worked at a school in Tegucigalpa, the capital.

Pro-Zelaya radio station Radio Globo said Velasquez was struck in the face by a tear gas grenade then hit by a police vehicle that was spraying water at protesters.
