OAS issues ultimatum of Honduran leaders

The Organisation of American States (OAS) has given the current leaders of Honduras three days to restore exiled President Manuel Zelaya to power.



If Honduras fails to comply, it could face being suspended from the group.



The army ousted Mr Zelaya on Sunday over his plans for constitutional reform, which his critics said were aimed at prolonging his presidency.



Mr Zelaya denies seeking to extend his term and has vowed to return.



However, the interim president and the Speaker of Congress Roberto Micheletti, says Mr. Zelaya would face charges of violating the constitution, and having links with organised crime and drug-traffickers if he returns.



Head of the OAS, Jose Miguel Insulza says if the exiled leader is not reinstated within 72 hours the OAS will meet again to suspend Honduras.
