Honduran Former President Gassed in Election Protest March

Honduran Former President Gassed in Election Protest March
Published 12 January 2018

. . .

Honduras' Opposition Alliance Against the Dictatorship have undertaken another round of marches in the capital of Tegucigalpa to protest the controversial re-election of incumbent President Juan Orlando Hernandez, known as JOH.

. . .

Friday's march on the capital was a precursor to next week's planned national strike, also organized by the opposition bloc and its supporters.

The national strike, which is set to run from January 20 to 27, is calling on Hondurans to deny Hernandez the presidency and recognize Nasralla as president on the grounds thar "the elections were fraudulent."

As part of the boycott, Nasralla and his team are urging Hondurans not to use public transportation, banks or pay tolls for the week. The opposition is also calling on Hondurans to boycott several U.S.-based restaurant chains including Wendy’s, Dunkin Donuts, McDonald’s, Denny’s and Pizza Hut.
