Honduras: American Faith Group Denounces U.S. Support for Hernández
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Honduras, a delegation of faith leaders from the United States is
denouncing the United States' support for Honduran President Juan
Orlando Hernández, who has been inaugurated for a second term despite
allegations of widespread voting fraud in the November 26 election. This
is Rev. Kathleen Mc Tigue of the Unitarian Universalist Service
Committee, speaking outside the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa on Monday.

Rev. Kathleen Mc Tigue: "We call on our United States government to
withdraw its recognition of the fraudulently elected government in
Honduras. And we demand the investigation and prosecution of both those
directly responsible for and those behind the killings during the
protests from November 27 'til today."
