Amparo

Honduras's Constitutional Court admitted a constitutional appeal filed on behalf of Scherly Arriaga against a prosecution decision denying her access to investigative files related to the Permanent Commission case.

Honduras's Appellate Criminal Court declared inadmissible an amparo (constitutional protection) appeal by retired general Roosevelt Hernández, who faces charges of inciting discrimination and violating fundamental rights linked to military social-media posts targeting journalists; the case now moves to the Constitutional Court and a preliminary hearing is set for September 14.

Honduras's Constitutional Court admitted petitions filed by former Prosecutor General Johel Zelaya and former Electoral Tribunal magistrate Mario Morazán challenging their removal from office by congressional impeachment, though it declined to suspend either dismissal while the cases proceed.

After a constitutional ruling annulled his judicial proceedings and restored his presumption of innocence, ex-judge Marco Vallecillo formally petitioned the Supreme Court of Justice to resume his duties in the judiciary, with his defense arguing no valid dismissal order exists in his personnel file.

The attorney for Marco Antonio Vallecillo, a former judge facing corruption charges, has asked the Supreme Court to clarify his employment status and allow his return to the judiciary, arguing he was never formally dismissed or suspended.

Rural, indigenous, and human-rights organizations filed a constitutional challenge seeking to suspend Decree 107-2026, which they say enables land seizures and strips protections from campesino and indigenous communities to shield agribusiness, energy, tourism, and ranching projects.

Honduras's Constitutional Court granted an amparo (constitutional remedy) to former judge Marco Antonio Vallecillo and ordered an appeals court to issue a new, properly reasoned ruling on his pretrial detention in an extortion case, finding the original decision violated due process.
