Police refuse to 'suppress protesters'
Honduran cops go on strike in opposition to 'rigged' vote
HONDURAN police went on strike yesterday, refusing to suppress protests against ballot-rigging in last week’s election.
Opposition presidential candidate Salvador Nasralla, who insists the election was stolen from him, urged the army to follow suit.
The national police, including the feared Cobra commandos, announced the strike on Monday in the capital Tegucigalpa.
