STATEMENT BY IAN KELLY, SPOKESMAN

Revocation of Diplomatic Visas

The Department of State is currently reviewing the diplomatic (A)
visas of individuals who are members of the de facto regime in
Honduras, as well as the derivative visas for family members of
these individuals. We have already revoked diplomatic visas
issued to four such individuals who received their diplomatic
visas in connection with positions held prior to June 28 under the
Zelaya administration, but who now serve the de facto regime.
