Curfews have been imposed in two northern Honduran cities following separate attacks that resulted in the deaths of over 20 people. The affected cities are San Pedro Sula and Choloma. These curfews are set to remain in effect until 6:00 a.m. on Monday.
The escalation of violence in Honduras has prompted the government to take the situation seriously. They attribute the violence to criminal gangs and have committed to taking strong measures against them.
The response to the curfews from the public has been varied. Some individuals view them as necessary for ensuring safety and protecting people from violence. However, others perceive them as an infringement on their personal freedom.
As of the current time, 20:50:04 PST, the curfews are still in effect. They are scheduled to be lifted on Monday, June 26, 2023, at 6:00 a.m.
It remains to be seen whether the curfews will be effective in reducing the violence in Honduras. However, they are a sign that the government is taking the situation seriously, and they may help to deter some criminals.
