Thousands of Hondurans have protested into the early hours of the morning to demand that President Juan Orlando Hernández be removed from office after his younger brother was convicted of drug trafficking in a New York court.
Opposition groups called Saturday for continuing protests to demand that Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández be removed from office after his younger brother was convicted of drug trafficking in a New York court.
Protesters blocked key roads in half of the country's 18 provinces, setting barricades ablaze, while some took advantage of the disturbances to loot stores. Police had not reported any arrests and urged protesters to express their concerns"peacefully without affecting the right of others." With Hoey at the parade, Hernández said he discussed ways to strengthen ties between the two countries while also fighting drug trafficking and organized crime.
Hernández assumed a second four-year term as president in January 2018, despite a constitutional ban on re-election.
