Honduran Rights Groups Push Court to Speed Up Case Against Ex-Military Chief

Human rights organizations Asopodehu and Joprodeh filed legal arguments with the Criminal Appeals Court of Francisco Morazán to expedite proceedings against General Roosevelt Hernández, former Chief of the Joint Staff, accused of attacks on freedom of expression and democracy. The groups also allege 'under the table deals' to delay the case, signaling potential political interference. The development underscores ongoing judicial friction in Honduras over accountability for military-era abuses.
