Melchorenos Protest
posted (May 30, 2016)
And while the pastors prayed on Saturday, on Sunday, the people of Melchor protested. The protest was principally against the OAS Adjacency Zone office and the armed forces of Belize for causing the death of 13 year old Julio Alvarado Ruano. They wanted to go all the way to the adjacency zone office in Belize - which had security forces on standby, but that never happened. We are told they were met by a counter protest representing Melchor business interests who don't want to antagonize or intimidate their Belizean patrons any more. As we've reported, visits to Melchor are way down in the last two months.
