Honduras: Honduran judiciary under fresh scrutiny
Since the supreme court (CSJ) ordered the removal of president Manuel Zelaya in June 2009, the Honduran judiciary has come in for external criticism. But the local judiciary has been weak from the return to democracy in 1982, heavily politicised on the one hand and wholly inefficient at delivering justice for ordinary citizens on the other. Critics of President Juan Orlando Hernández suggest that he too has manipulated the judiciary for his own political ends.
