TEGUCIGALPA, Oct 20 (AP): Opposition groups called Saturday for more protests to demand that Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez be removed from office after his younger brother was convicted of drug trafficking in a New York court.
Thousands of Hondurans protested into the early hours of the morning after Juan Antonio "Tony" Hernandez was convicted Friday in what US prosecutors described as a conspiracy that relied on "state-sponsored drug trafficking."
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.
