Honduras president backs 'soldier on every corner'

The United Nations will open a human rights monitoring office in Honduras this year to guard against possible violations by security forces as they crack down on drug gangs, President Juan Hernandez said on Sunday.

The militarization of the Central American country has helped stem gang bloodshed Hernandez said, while disputing claims that his policy to "put a soldier on every corner" has resulted in a spike in rights violations.
