英语文摘：Anti-Zelaya crowd protests in front of UN building in Tegucigalpa

TEGUCIGALPA, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of people opposing Honduras' ousted president Manuel Zelaya staged a protest on Thursday in front of the United Nations (UN) building and the U.S. embassy in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa.

    The protesters, all supporters of the country's post-coup leader Roberto Micheletti, chanted slogans like "Out Mel," "Democracy," "No to the interference," "Chavez no, elections yes," and "We want peace."

    The protesters were summoned by the Democratic Civic Union on Wednesday night when the de facto government announced a suspension of the curfew, which began on Monday after Zelaya returned to the country.

    Organizers of the demonstration said that they reject the interference of the international community, and condemned Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for their involvement in the Honduran political crisis.

    "Honduras wants to live in peace and democracy, revealing the good and bad ones in the elections," former president of the National Anti-corruption Council Juan Ferrera told the press on Thursday.
