Thousands of Hondurans took to the streets Saturday to show their support for President Xiomara Castro, after a video emerged allegedly showing her brother-in-law meeting drug traffickers.
The video, which appeared to reveal brother-in-law Carlos Zelaya seeking funding from the traffickers for Castro's 2013 campaign, came to light days after Castro declared the end of an extradition treaty with the United States.
Her husband Manuel Zelayaresigned as a lawmaker after the video emerged. Shortly afterwards, Castro's nephew Jose Manuel Zelaya quit as defense minister.
