Honduras' post-coup leader Roberto Micheletti on Tuesday dismissed the country's ambassadors to the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States (OAS), Xinhua reported.
The interim government decided to sack Jorge Artugo Reina, the ambassador to UN, and Carlos Sosa Coello to OAS, and they will be no longer entitled to make any statement on behalf of the new government, Micheletti told a press conference held in Tegucigalpa.
Micheletti said he was considering two new nominations, who will "respect the true facts" and "will comply with the decision of the government."
Reina and Coello, both appointed by the ousted president Manuel Zelaya, have strongly denounced the military coup that drove Zelaya from power Sunday.
At a UN General Assembly meeting on Monday, Reina urged the world not to accept any "illegitimate government" that took Zelaya's place.
