Rio de Janeiro: A new so-called migrant caravan with several thousand Hondurans on their way to the United States has been met with tear gas and violent clashes with authorities in Guatemala, according to government sources.
Several people were injured, the Central American country’s human rights ombudsman Jordan Rodas Andrade said in a statement on Sunday.
Television footage and videos shared on social media showed thousands of migrants gathered in groups in the Guatemalan city of Vado Hondo trying to break a cordon of security forces, which used batons against the crowds. Eleven migrants and two soldiers were injured, according to the United Nations’ refugee agency UNHCR. (dpa)
