June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Manuel Zelaya, forced from the Honduran presidency in a military coup two days ago, said he won’t seek to be re-elected or extend his term should he be restored to office.

Zelaya said in a news conference at the United Nations today that his country is now under a “de facto military regime” and he would welcome a trial to defend himself.
