Honduras Mass Protests: Grahame Russell Of Rights Action

Director of Rights Action, Grahame Russell, on why large-scale demonstrations continue in Tegucigalpa and throughout Honduras, beyond the two-day national strike which had been called by numerous sectors. We also ask why the government of Juan Orlando Hernandez has been characterized as 'illegitimate', 'fraudulent' and a 'dictatorship' by the opposition and supporters, and why the political situation has received minimal coverage in the mainstream media. Grahame also touches on the government's handling of the environment and indigenous rights, and the role the U.S. and Canadian governments play while multinationals based in the north, create harmful living situations for Honduran communities.
