Honduran Libre deputies sue ASJ director for slander over corruption report

Deputies from Honduras' Libre party announced a slander lawsuit against Carlos Hernández, executive director of the anti-corruption NGO ASJ, over its 'Solidarity Deputies' report. The move signals political pushback against civil-society corruption allegations, potentially deterring future accountability efforts. The lawsuit's legal merit is uncertain, but it escalates tensions between the ruling party and watchdog groups.
