EXACTLY HOW BRUTAL THESE PRISONS ARE — THATS WHY TRUMP WANTED TO
HAVE DEPORTEES BRUTALLY TREATED THERE. PERIOD.

El Salvador: Inhumane Prison Lockdown Treatment
President’s Call for Lethal Force Ignores Basic International Standards


Washington, DC) – El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has ordered a mandatory lockdown in prisons holding gang members, imposing inhumane conditions on the inmates, Human Rights Watch said today. He also announced that he was authorizing “the use of lethal force” by security forces for “self-defense and to protect the lives of Salvadorans” even if it is not a measure of last resort, as required by Salvadoran and international law.

After weeks of very few reported killings in El Salvador, 77 people were murdered between April 24 and 27, 2020. The president claimed he had “intelligence information” that the homicides were orchestrated by gang members inside prisons. The lockdown he subsequently ordered involves holding them in inhumane conditions that may amount to torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. He also tweeted about using lethal force against gang leaders in the streets.
