Constitutional Challenge

The president of Honduras's Medical College, Samuel Santos, has asked the Constitutional Court to rule on a legal challenge to a decree and to stop the firing of physicians.

Civil-society organizations filed a partial constitutional challenge to Honduras's 2026 anti-terrorism law targeting criminal gangs and the prison system, citing concerns over its provisions.

Attorney Ramón Barrios says Próspera's appointment of a civil prosecutor violates Honduras's Constitution by creating an exceptional jurisdiction the Supreme Court already ruled illegal, and called on the Public Ministry to investigate potential criminal liability.

Legal experts say a constitutional challenge filed by National Congress President Luis Redondo and the Permanent Commission to freeze the Public Ministry's investigation lacks merit and is designed to delay proceedings.

Honduras's Constitutional Court admitted a legal challenge to a 2026 law that broadly expanded the definition of terrorist association, with critics warning its vague language could criminalize legitimate protest, strikes, and indigenous territorial rights.

A government lawyer filed a constitutional challenge to criminal-code reforms that stiffen penalties for femicide, arguing the changes create gender inequality and could lead to job losses and weapons-registry inclusion for the accused.
