Honduran Deputy Rejects Human Rights Concerns in Penal Reforms

Nationalist deputy Kilvett Bertrand dismissed allegations of human rights violations in proposed reforms to Honduras' Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure, framing them as necessary for combating organized crime. The reforms remain under debate, with no independent assessment of their human rights impact yet. This signals a potential tightening of criminal justice measures in Honduras, which could affect civil liberties and international scrutiny.
