Censorship in Honduras

Freedom of the press in Honduras began with the government of Francisco Morazán as president of the Federal Republic of Central America in 1830, when he enacted the liberal reforms that included reforms to education, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.

Despite Honduras having had freedom of the press since its forming as the Republic of Honduras, censorship has presented itself in shape of the elimination of different ideologies such as liberalism and communism, with book burnings in libraries (such as the burning of the library of Dionisio of Herrera) and more recently with the murder of members of the press, lawyers, judges, and other public figures.
