Thousands of supporters of ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya are marching through streets in the capital. While Zelaya remains under siege at the Brazilian Embassy.

Protesters chant slogans against interim President Roberto Micheletti, and say they will not respect the curfew and continue marching.

Zelaya supporter, said, "He should know that with curfews he won't stop the people from Honduras who are demonstrating peacefully"

Tuesday, Zelaya's supporters clashed with police.

Police say two people died and more than 100 have been arrested for vandalism and looting.

Schools, businesses, airports and border crossings are closed, though the coup-installed government lifted a nationwide curfew for six hours Wednesday.

Zelaya remains holed up with a shrinking core of supporters at the increasingly isolated Brazilian Embassy in Honduras.
