San Salvador, El Salvador (HRNW) — Human rights organizations have raised alarms over the continued extension of the state of emergency, which has now seen over 85,000 people detained without due process. While the government claims the measures have reduced gang violence, legal experts point to thousands of “innocent casualties”—individuals with no gang ties who have been imprisoned indefinitely. Reports of torture and lack of legal representation inside these “mega-prisons” continue to mount.
