Description

On February 16, ex-President Juan Orlando Hernandez was arrested by Honduran police. Since then, his extradition process to the United States to stand trial on drug trafficking and weapons charges, has been unfolding in Honduras. His arrest has sparked debates about whether his rights are being violated; the future of Honduran institutions involved in the narco-state; and how his supporters, including the US and Canadian governments, should be held accountable for supporting a violent, narco-regime.
