Zelaya criticizes national reconciliation without justice
TEGUCIGALPA. January 12. KAZINFORM The coup-ousted president of Honduras on Monday appealed for national reconciliation with justice instead of one without justice being done first, Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
Manuel Zelaya told local Radio Globo that he agrees with the president-elect that Honduras needs a reconciliation but it must be done with justice.
"I agree with the reconciliation, but the reconciliation is to make Honduras having justice, for the law to be enforced in Honduras," said Zelaya.
The ousted president, who has been staying inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa for safety, said that his rights as citizen and elected president of Honduras were violated.
Zelaya was ousted by a June 2009 coup and was initially forced into exile in Costa Rica.
The international community condemned the coup and had demanded Zelaya's return to power prior to Honduras' general elections which were held in November last year, Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.chinaview.cn for full version.
