Honduras adopts El Salvador-style tactics in anti-gang crackdown on prison inmates

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:44:30 GMT

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Authorities in Honduras forced inmates to sit half-naked in tight rows while they searched for contraband in a sweep of prisons Monday, similar to the harsh tactics of neighboring El Salvador. They also arrested a suspect in a weekend pool hall shooting that killed 11 people.The prison sweep demonstrated the Honduran government’s resolve to crack down on gangs following last week’s gang-related massacre of 46 female inmates in the worst atrocity at a women’s prison in recent memory. Police said they were considering the possibility that the pool hall shooting on Saturday was related to the prison violence.

I love television,” Elba, 50, said yesterday in a virtual press conference from his native London. He looked very much the star in matching short sleeve shirt, sox and shorts.Asked if his good looks ever get in the way with a role, “I’m getting a lot of love today, thank you very much. It’s all subjective,” he said. “I’m sure I’m not good looking to everyone. My size and shape – all my life, ‘Oh you’re a big man!’ I’ve taken on roles that feed into it.”On “Hijack,” “I’m p...
