Brazil's ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Ruy Casaes, on Monday accused the government of Honduras to promote de facto techniques "torture" against staff engaged in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa. 

Casaes lodged the complaint at a meeting of the OAS Permanent Council, which examined the issue of Honduras after the stagnation of the dialogue between the de facto government  Roberto Micheletti and PresidentManuel Zelaya. 

"The delegation of Brazil deplores the acts of de facto regime of human rights violation and demanding an immediate end to the situation of torture of Brazilian and Honduran citizens who are at the embassy", the ambassador said. 

Likewise, the diplomat gave the example that the Brazilian embassy has been surrounded by military and police forces. The de facto military at night sought to disrupt the sleep of those who remain at headquarters, with equipment noise and high-intensity light, which has caused physical and emotional disturbance. 

 the Security Council of the United Nations Organization (UN) has condemned recent weeks the "intimidation" made by the de facto government in the Brazilian embassy and called for an immediate end to the harassment of the embassy, where remains the legitimate president of the Central American country. 

"We condemn acts of intimidation against the Brazilian embassy," the Council's rotating president and U.S. ambassador, Susan Rice, in an oral statement at the end of a meeting at the UN. 

Similarly, the Security Council demanded "the de facto government in Honduras to stop harassing the Brazilian Embassy and to provide the necessary inputs to people who are there, including water, electricity, food and continuity of communications." 

 gas, loud noises, rubber bullets are just some of the methods used by the forces commanded by Micheletti, to attack the citizens. 

Since the arrival of Honduran President Zelaya to land on 21 September, thousands of people have concentrated on the outskirts of the Brazilian Embassy in support of the president's return to power.
