Zelaya calls for more protests after talks fail

[Iran Press TV Latest] Ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, who was deposed in a military-backed coup four months ago calls for fresh protests after the collapse of a US-brokered deal.

Zelaya said last week's deal was no longer valid after de facto leader Roberto Micheletti formed a new "national unity" government without his participation.

"Now I have no commitment to dialogue," Zelaya said on Friday on Globo radio, calling his supporters onto the streets.

"Our struggle is peaceful. The accord failed due to the non-fulfillment of Micheletti," Zelaya said as hundreds of protesters marched toward the Brazilian embassy where he has been holed up since September 21.

The latest setback dealt a major blow to foreign and US diplomats, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who had hailed last week's agreement as a triumph for democracy.

Many fear further social unrest after a heavy-handed crackdown by the de facto regime on protests by Zelaya supporters, including the media, in the past months.
