Honduras: Former members of the National Police plan to protest nationwide May 19

Event

Former members of the National Police of Honduras have announced plans to protest nationwide May 19. Participants have stated plans to block main roads and highways across the country, without providing specific details on the time and location of demonstrations. The action has been called to protest the dismissal of thousands of employees from the National Police of Honduras since 2016.

Transport disruptions are likely in protest-affected areas. Clashes cannot be ruled out, especially if demonstrators block all lanes on major roads. If the strike and protest actions continue for several days, supply chain disruptions are possible.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach your destination if operating in Honduras, especially if traveling via interdepartmental roads. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
