#BREAKING | In a stunning verdict, Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras backed by the US, has been convicted of drug trafficking charges in New York City.
This guilty ruling exposes the rot of US imperialism, enabling narco-regimes like Hernández's while hypocritically waging a militarized "war on drugs" to impose hegemony over Latin America.
Hernández stands accused of turning Honduras into a narco-state. He came to power in #Honduras in 2013 in the aftermath of the 2009 US-backed coup against democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya.
