Honduran Justice Selective and Negotiated, Says Former UNAH Rector

Julieta Castellanos, former rector of UNAH, asserts that for five decades Honduras has selectively prosecuted crimes, with powerful groups negotiating which cases proceed, aided by a lenient penal code and a compliant Public Ministry. This is a continuation of longstanding criticism of Honduran judicial impunity, but Castellanos' prominence adds weight. The claim is an opinion based on her experience, not a new factual development.
