Tegucigalpa (AFP) - A Honduran opposition journalist who was sentenced Friday to more than eight years in prison for "insulting" a prosecutor's wife denounced what he said was retaliation from the president for uncovering public embezzlement.
The lawyer for David Romero, director of the opposition broadcaster Globo, said they would appeal the verdict "because this citizen did not get a fair judgment."
The Honduran court found Romero guilty of six counts of "insulting" the wife of a prosecutor and ordered him to prison for eight years and four months, the lawyer, Darwin Garcia, told reporters.
Romero, who turned up to court surrounded by a hundred supporters, said the sentence had been handed down against him "in response to a request by President Juan Orlando Hernandez, (who wants) to see us stripped of our liberties."
