On 3 March 2021, the Honduran National Police arbitrarily detained Jennifer Solórzano while she was on her way by car to the municipality of Santa Fe, department of Colón, accused of the crimes of "usurpation of land", "damages" and "threats" against the Canadian company Sociedad de Responsabilidad y Bienes Raíces (JUCA). Marianela Solórzano was arrested for the same crimes when she went to the police station where her sister Jennifer Solórzano was being held, as there was an arrest warrant for her. In addition, the defender Jennifer Solórzano has a second arrest warrant in another case for the crime of "robbery". Both were detained for four days in the offices of the Public Security Force (FUSEP) in Trujillo, department of Colón. On 7 March 2021, Marianela Solórzano and Jennifer Solórzano appeared before the Juzgado de Letras of Trujillo, department of Colón, for their initial hearing. At the entrance to the building, the presence of a group of at least 21 members of the armed forces and 15 members of the National Police generated a climate of hostility against the community members who came to support the defenders. At the hearing, Judge Camilo Peralta denied access to members of the National Human Rights Commission (CONADEH) and national and international human rights organisations to observe the hearing. The court formally indicted both defenders for the crimes of "usurpation of land", "damage" and "threats" and granted them alternatives to pre-trial detention. The Public Prosecutor's Office also requested the indictment of Jennifer Mejía Solórzano for the crime of "forced displacement" against members of the JUCA company, and the court issued a formal indictment with alternative measures to imprisonment, which is punishable by nine years in prison according to the Honduran Penal Code.
