VOICED : Guerra" contra las pandillas en El Salvador deja 55.000 detenidos desde marzo

Since March, El Salvador's police have arrested over 55,000 people in a crackdown on gangs led by President Nayib Bukele. This is under a state of exception, extended by Congress, allowing detentions without a warrant. The measure, a response to a spike in homicides, is criticized by humanitarian groups for rights violations. Authorities have seized numerous weapons, vehicles, phones, and cash. Most detainees are linked to gangs like Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18. Before March, 16,000 gang members were already imprisoned.
