**Honduran security forces have raided a building and arrested dozens of supporters of ousted President Manuel Zelaya, a police spokesman said.**Soldiers and police surrounded the building in Tegucigalpa where the protesters had camped out for weeks.
The dawn raid took place under a controversial decree by the interim government to suspend civil liberties.
Mr Zelaya is still in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa following his surprise return to Honduras last week.
A police spokesman told the French news agency AFP that some 55 people had been arrested, after security forces raided the National Institute of Agrarian Reform (Inra).
“We’re going to take them to the prosecutor’s office to assess if they have committed crimes,” he said.
He said the action formed part of the decree announced at the weekend that suspended civil liberties.
“The decree is completely illegal,” farm leader Rafael Alegria said.
Mr Zelaya was arrested at gunpoint on 28 June and flown out of the country after being accused of violating the constitution by planning to hold a vote on constitutional reform.
He made a dramatic return to the country on 21 September and has been in the Brazilian embassy since then.
