TEGUCIGALPA (AFP) - Thousands of people turned out in several cities across Honduras on Friday to protest a wave of journalist killings in the country, where 20 reporters have been murdered in the past three years.
'Killing journalists does not kill the truth,' chanted the demonstrators, some of them reporters themselves dressed in yellow and white shirts, as they marched past the offices of the president and the human rights commission.
Organisers said 5,000 people turned out in Tegucigalpa alone. Other marches were held in San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, Comayagua and Choluteca.
'No more impunity,' said one sign held by a protester.
