Honduran police have fired tear gas at 200 people protesting a newly erected highway toll outside of Honduras’ second-largest city, San Pedro Sula. Former president Manuel Zelaya was among those in the crowd. This is just one of eight simultaneous protests at new highway tolls around the country. The tolls are a public-private initiative. The government has contracted out private companies to run the tolls, which charge drivers 20 lempiras or a little less than a dollar to pass, a princely sum in a country where per capita income is less than $US200 per-month.
