| Description | Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has returned to his country, nearly three months after being deposed.
Mr Zelaya has sought refuge inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa and hundreds of his supporters have gathered outside.
Mr Zelaya said he had crossed mountains and rivers to return to the capital, where he said he was seeking dialogue.
Honduran authorities, who have threatened to arrest Mr Zelaya, have imposed a curfew on the country.
In images broadcast on national television, a smiling Mr Zelaya wearing his trademark white cowboy hat appeared on the balcony of the Brazilian embassy waving to crowds of his supporters.
Witnesses said a military helicopter flew overhead. |
