Honduran soldiers stand guard in Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras, June 28, 2009. Newly-appointed acting Honduran President Roberto Micheletti said he has imposed a curfew of two nights starting from late Sunday after the country's soldiers ousted Manuel Zelaya before a national referendum.
Micheletti, who was appointed acting president by Congress on Sunday, said that the curfew will run from 9 p.m. (0300 GMT) to 6 a.m. (1200 GMT) on both nights.
The curfew came after soldiers seized President Manuel Zelaya at his home in Honduras capital and forced him to board a plane to Costa Rica.
