The trial next week will determine whether they will be sent back to prison for 15 to 30 years.Listen to a summary of the case and hear an interview with Edwin Espinal, the day after he was released from a maximum-security prison in 2019. Edwin describes the conditions inside the prison including how the relatively new maximum-security prisons in Honduras are similar to the US prison model.To take action in support of Edwin and Raul, go to:bit.ly/edwinyraul - send a message to your Congressional repbit,ly/edwinyraul2 - send a letter to the Honduran authoritiesFor more information and updates on the case:Twitter: @EdwinLibertadFacebook: Free Edwin Espinal LibertadFind the podcast's social media and the show notes:Twitter: @HondurasNowFacebook: Honduras NowInstagram: Honduras NowShow notes: https://www.hondurasnow.orgThank you so much to all the individuals that have donated to the podcast.
