HONDURAS/REGION: Press freedom concerns build ahead of election
Various international press freedom lobbies and institutions such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)’s Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression (SRFOE) have flagged up concerns regarding reports of criminalisation of the press by the police (PNH) and military (FFAA) in Honduras, one of the world’s deadliest countries for journalists. These have attracted particular alarm ahead of the November 2025 general elections, not least given the complaints regarding the FFAA relate to media criticism of its handling of the chaotic March primaries [WR-25-10].
