At least 153 of the prisoners rounded up in El Salvador's notorious 'war on gangs' and shipped to huge new prisons without trial are now DEAD, human rights group warns
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] At least 153 El Salvador prisoners were tortured and killed as part of the country's notorious 'war on gangs' regime, a new human rights group report has said.
A report from rights group Cristosal said dozens of people had died in state custody after being imprisoned without trial after El Salvador instituted emergency powers in March 2022 to confront the country's powerful street gangs.
All of those who died in prison had not been convicted of the crime they were accused of committing at the time of their arrest. Four women were among the dead. The rest were men.
The deaths were the result of torture, and systematic and serious injuries, the report said. Nearly half of the victims suffered violent deaths.
El Salvador opened a mega-prison earlier this year to house some 40,000 suspected gang members that authorities had rounded up. At the time, the country's security minister warned that inmates 'will never walk out of here'.
That’s the so-called Terrorist Confinement Centre (CECOT), in Tecoluca. |
