AS many feared, the aftermath of the fraudulent Honduran election of November 26 has now degenerated into harsh repression and violent death.
Opposition to the corrupt right-wing regime of President Juan Orlando Hernandez of the National Party has boiled up as it has become obvious that an effort is under way to steal the election.
