Honduran court evicts 86 families in Choluteca; criminal cases continue

A Honduran court ordered the eviction of 86 farming families from El Tulito, Choluteca, under a new agro-industrial law, with over 200 police officers executing the operation on August 6. The families, accused of usurpation since 2019, claim they lacked prior notification and that a last-minute injunction was ignored. The eviction is part of a broader pattern of legal pressure on land occupiers, with criminal prosecutions expected to continue for years.
