Honduras threatens Brazil

Published:Monday | September 28, 2009 | 8:50 AM

Honduras has threatened to revoke Brazil\'s right to a diplomatic mission in a dispute over the status of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.



Mr Zelaya took refuge in the Brazilian embassy in Honduras after sneaking into the country last Monday, three months after he was sent into exile.



Honduras\'s interim government has given Brazil 10 days to either grant Mr Zelaya asylum or hand him over.



The interim Government has also issued a decree allowing it to ban protests and media reporting.



The move was announced yesterday after Mr Zelaya called on his supporters to stage a march today.
