Honduran Activists Are Protesting “State of Emergency” That Suspends Civil Rights

Activists say the measure implemented as part of a “war on extortion” actually amounts to a criminalization of poverty.

In Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a group of activists has been gathering regularly on Saturday mornings to oppose one of President Xiomara Castro’s popular new policies: a state of emergency that partially suspends several fundamental constitutional rights. The measure, also known as a state of exception, is meant to be a key part of Castro’s “war on extortion,” a major and systemic problem in Honduras.
