A protester protestor blocks a road, on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, Honduras
HONDURAN former president Manuel Zelaya has urged supporters to keep resisting the “illegal dictatorship” in his New Year’s message.
In a statement posted on his Twitter account, Mr Zelaya, who was ousted in a US-backed 2009 coup, assured Opposition Alliance Against Dictatorship party supporters that 2018 would be the “definitive year of our liberation.”
He called for protests against the December 17 decision of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal to hand victory in the presidential election to incumbent Juan Orlando Hernandez.
