TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras.- Two MPs warned about intentions they would push from the National Congress to abolish extradition.
The spokesman for the bench Freedom and Refoundation party (Free), Jorge Cálix, stated that “there are strong rumors that the bench of the National Party in Congress would be presenting a motion to annul the agreed act which is what allows extradition to Honduras” .

Meanwhile, the deputy head of the Innovation and Unity Party (Pinu), Luis Redondo, warned through his social networks of the claim to abolish extradition.
A reform to Article 102 of the Constitution of the Republic was approved by the CN in January 2012 that allows the delivery of Hondurans to some countries for the crimes of drug trafficking, terrorism as well as organized crime. Two years later he was extradited to the United States of America in Carlos Arnaldo “The Black” Wolf.
There is currently no law or regulation governing extradition, there is only one agreed act admitted by the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) with which the procedure for extraditable issues is processed and resolved.
