Description
Residents of Tegucigalpa say they agree with Honduran President Xiomara Castro's decision to reverse course and maintain a long-running extradition treaty used to deliver suspected drug traffickers to the United States.
"It is truly great, it was a good decision made by our beloved President of the Republic," says a resident.
The Central American nation had said in August that it was scrapping the treaty, denouncing US "interference" and alleging a plot against her government and military leaders.
The opposition argued at the time that Mrs. Castro had suspended the extradition treaty to protect her brother-in-law Carlos Zelaya, brother of her husband, former president Manuel Zelaya, who was overthrown by a coup in 2009.
Days after Ms Castro announced she was cancelling the treaty, a video from 2013 surfaced in which Carlos Zelaya is seen negotiating a bribe with several well-known drug traffickers. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
