MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A Honduras court has released five Syrians, who had been detained since November 18 after being arrested with counterfeit Greek passports, a court spokeswoman said.

According to media reports, the men were trying to reach the United States.

The men "were freed having paid a bail of 10,000 lempiras ($450) each… The Syrians have been released after signing an agreement with the Attorney General’s Office, accepting a crime of forgery of documents," Barbara Castle said Tuesday, as quoted by the Univision television network.

The Syrians will remain in Honduras for 90 days while the authorities are considering their applications for permanent asylum.
