Bukele Plans to Release Up to Half of Gang Inmates
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced a plan granting conditional early release to up to half of the detainees held under a state of emergency aimed at combating gang violence. The emergency, declared in March 2022, led to over 90,000 arrests but also raised human rights concerns due to reports of arbitrary detentions and restrictions on constitutional protections. The government attributes the measures to declining homicide rates and efforts to control gangs, while critics emphasize the harm caused by prolonged imprisonment and detentions without due process.
