The newly-appointed leader of Honduras Roberto Micheletti ordered a 48-hour curfew starting late on Sunday, after denying there had been a coup d’etat on deposed President Manuel Zelaya.
“A curfew begins today and ends on Tuesday,” Micheletti said at his first press conference since being appointed by Congress to replace Zelaya.
“I came to the presidency not by a coup d’etat but by a completely legal process as set out in our laws,” Micheletti, a member of Zelaya’s own Liberal Party, said earlier after being sworn in by Congress.
