TEGUCIGALPA, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Followers of ousted Honduras President Manuel Zelaya on Thursday blocked the main paths of the country and entrances to public institutions.
Juan Barahona, president of local Workers' Unitary Federation (UFT) told Xinhua that since early morning Thursday, protesters hadclosed the country's access to the North.
Ambrosio Ord ez, interim traffic vice minister, confirmed on Thursday that the exits of Santa Rosa de Copan in the northwest, San Pedro Sula in the north, Santa Barbara in the west, Tocoa in the Atlantic and Danli in the east were all blocked.
Syndicate members from different governmental dependencies haven taken over the entrance to the Honduran Institute of Social Security, one of the main public hospitals of the country.
Zelaya's supporters have formed a "People's Resistance" movement to demand the deposed president's return to power.
Zelaya announced on Wednesday night he would come back despite all risks, as an attempt to recover his presidency.
On June 28, he was dethroned in a worldwide condemned coup d'etat and expulsed to Costa Rica.
Zelaya is reportedly on the move towards Nicaraguan locations bordering Honduras, from where he will intend to enter Honduran territory after an almost month-long exile.
