Honduras Congress Approves Penal Code Reforms in Crime Crackdown

Honduras' National Congress announced a package of reforms to the Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and penitentiary legislation as part of an intensified crime offensive. The reforms signal a legislative push to strengthen the state's legal toolkit against criminal activity, though specific provisions and their impact remain unclear. This follows a pattern of heightened security measures in Honduras, but the scope and enforcement of these changes are yet to be detailed.
