TEGUCIGALPA, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Followers of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya Tuesday demanded the United Nations (UN) suspend economic aid for the country's general elections, scheduled for Nov. 29.

    "We have requested the UN to suspend the economic aid to Honduras so as to stop the elections," a pro-Zelaya syndicate leader Israel Salinas said at a press conference in Tegucigalpa.

    Members of the pro-Zelaya group said they would reject the result of an election organized by the coup government and would continue fighting for Zelaya's return to power.

    "We are going to protest all this week, and will keep resisting until the coup-mongers resign," Salinas said.

    Zelaya's followers gathered in Tegucigalpa Tuesday to march in the streets.

    On the same day, protestors arrived in San Pedor Sula, a city north of Tegucigalpa. A World Cup qualifying match between the country's national soccer team and Costa Rica is to be held there on Wednesday.

    Zelaya was seized from his bed and sent to Costa Rica in a military coup on June 28, just hours before a scheduled referendum on a possible constitutional amendment that would have extended presidential term limits, allowing Zelaya to seek another term.
