A judge in Honduras on Tuesday authorized preventive detention for five Syrian men arrested last week for using stolen Greek passports to enter the country.
The order means the Syrians will remain in the jail they have been kept in 100 kilometers north of the capital following their November 17 arrest at the city's Toncontin airport, a court spokeswoman, Barbara Castillo, explained to AFP.
She said prosecutors accuse them of falsifying public documents.
