Leaders of Honduran Anti-Corruption Mov't Launch Hunger Strike

Five leaders of the "Torch Movement", the late night marches in Honduras to protest the ongoing and mushrooming corruption scandal rocking the country, have launched a hunger strike. The demands are for the UN to create an Anti-Impunity Commission into the Honduran affair and for the country's congress to call an extraordinary session to begin legal proceedings against those involved in the siphoning off of public funds. The hunger strikers are camped out in front of the Presidential Palace and police have cordoned off the area and attacked journalists covering the event. A major demonstration is planned for Friday, one of the main demands of which is for resignation of President Juan Orlando Hernandez. Gerardo Torres reports from Tegucigalpa. teleSUR
