The Honduran National Commissioner for Human Rights (Conadeh) said Sunday (May 24) that it has received 154 complaints from journalists at risk or victims of internal forced displacement due to violence from 2016 to March 2026, and called on the government to adopt effective measures to protect them.
Marking Honduran Journalists’ Day, observed on May 25, Conadeh, which functions as an ombudsman’s office, said in a statement that reporting the news remains “a high-risk activity” and warned that forced displacement of media workers worsened from 2022 to 2025, a period that accounted for 56% of cases.
According to data from the agency’s Internal Forced Displacement Unit (UDFI), 20 cases were recorded in 2022; the number rose to 27 in 2023, the highest in the period; another 20 were registered in 2024; and 16 more in 2025. From January to March 2026, five additional complaints have already been reported.
