Honduras child-rights network rejects lowering penal age, harsher minor penalties

Coiproden, a Honduran child-rights coalition, publicly opposed legislative proposals to lower the age of criminal responsibility and increase penalties for minors, arguing such measures alone do not improve citizen security. The stance signals a policy clash ahead of potential penal-code reform, though no specific bill or legislative timeline is cited. The development matters as it frames the domestic debate on juvenile justice in Honduras.
