US revokes visas for Honduran government members

The US has revoked the visas of four members of the interim Honduran government as it presses for the return of ousted president Manuel Zelaya.



A state department spokesman says they are also reviewing the visas of other members of the de facto government.



Mr Zelaya, who was exiled last month amid a row over proposed constitutional change, is in neighbouring Nicaragua.



The officials concerned had received their visas in connection with positions they held prior to the June 28 ousting of Mr Zelaya.



The US spokesman says the decision to revoke the visas was in line with the United States policy of non-recognition of Mr Micheletti\'s government.
