U.S. Embassy Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Security Message for U.S. Citizens: UNAH Demonstration
Date: July 25, 2017
- The U.S. Embassy has received reports from local police that students are protesting on the grounds of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras and have shut the main gates. Police have restricted access to Blvd. Suyapa in front of the University in Tegucigalpa. We expect this to continue over the following days. Anyone needing to travel near the University may wish to consider alternate routes.
- Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. You should avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.
