Hondurans Continue Massive Protests Against Privatization Plans
---------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, protests are continuing in Honduras against plans by
President Hernández to privatize healthcare, pensions and education.
Thousands of teachers, medical workers and students flooded the streets
of Tegucigalpa again on Thursday, closing the capital city's airport and
drawing tear gas from police.

Protester: "I am here because people are suffering; because I have
students who don't have anything to eat, who come to class hungry.
That's why I'm here."
