The OAS' Secretary General, José Miguel Insulza, said spoke about Manuel Zelaya's presence at the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, asking for those involved to remain calm. The Organization of American States (OAS) is currently holding an emergency meeting in Washington, D.C., to decide when Insulza will be able to travel to the Central American country.

"The constitutional President of Honduras, José Manuel Zelaya, is in Tegucigalpa at the Brazilian Embassy. I am asking for calm on the part of those involved in this process, and I am asking for the responsibility of the de facto government authorities, who must be responsible for the security of President Zelaya and for the Brazilian Embassy."

Honduras' de facto rulers imposed a curfew after the return of Zelaya to the country. "The government has declared the curfew for the entire country from 4 in the afternoon until 6 a.m. to conserve calm in the country," spokesman Rene Zepeda said.

Thousands of Zelaya's supporters surrounded the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, with a 100 police wearing riot gear deployed nearby.
