The Honduran coup regime continues its crackdown on demonstrators calling for the return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya. On Wednesday, Honduran police fired tear gas at thousands of people in the capital Tegucigalpa for the second straight day. Police also occupied and closed off a teacher’s college where protesters have gathered. At least sixty protesters have been jailed over the last two days. The coup regime has imposed a curfew in the capital after a pro-Zelaya rally on Tuesday drew more than 10,000 people.
