Honduras Election: Thousands of protesters gather outside US embassy in Honduras
[]
Thousands of protesters marched in Honduras' capital on Friday to protest the disputed presidential election, as the country's president Juan Orlando Hernandez holds a slim lead according to official results. Supporters of opposition candidate Salvador Nasralla gathered outside the U.S. Embassy, accusing the United States of intervening in the elections. The court has finished a recount of ballot boxes that presented irregularities, but has still not declared a winner. The Honduras' National Human Rights Commission said 16 people have died in protests since the election, and 1,675 people have been arrested.
