The Closing of the Southern Highway from Tegucigalpa: An Eye Witness Report
"Several hours into the protest, all that changes. A small group of people runs toward the other side of the bridge. More police have arrived, bringing the number to roughly one hundred. They are demanding the immediate withdrawal of the protestors. More people start to arrive at the site of the confrontation, but protest organizers move quickly to push them back to the other side of the bridge. From the loudspeakers on the flatbed, protest leaders speak directly to the police, saying that they are in peaceful, non-violent resistance, and that their protest is not against them. They call for the crowd to stay calm, urging “disciplina”—discipline—and restraint."
