Honduras: Thousands take to streets to demand new elections
Protesters insist incumbent President Juan Orlando Hernandez stole the election in November
Caroline Mortimer @cjmortimer 10 hours ago
Thousands of protesters have staged a massive protest in Honduras’ second city over the victory of President Juan Orlando Hernandez in an election the opposition claim was fraudulent.
Opposition leader Salvador Nasralla lead the protests in the city of San Pedro Sula.
Addressing the crowd, he said: “We will not stop until Hernandez says he's leaving”.
It was the first march in the city since the 26 November election, and the losing candidate once again appealed to the Organisation of American States and the countries that have recognised Mr Hernandez's victory to listen to the protesters.
