January 28, 2011

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS (BNO NEWS) — Supporters of former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya on Thursday demonstrated in the main cities of Central American nation, exactly one year after the coup.

Demonstrators called on the government to stop the rising prices of fuel, utilities and food as well as removing the charges against Zelaya to allow his return without having to appear before the courts.

In Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, members of the National Front of Popular Resistance People caused traffic problems. Teachers’ organizations and peasants, who demanded land titling in northern Honduras, joined the protests.

From the early hours, police were deployed nationwide, especially in Tegucigalpa, to prevent clashes.
