Inmates in ElSalvador tortured/strangled-hellish conditions in Bukele's prisons

Cristosal, the primary human rights organization in the Central American country, describes a regime of terror through interviews of hundreds of people who were mistakenly arrested or freed after being declared innocent

Such is the case of a 23-year-old man who died on April 18, 2022: “The cadaver presented signs of blows on various parts of the body, fracture on feet and hands, long burn-type wounds on the back, which demonstrate that hey may have been a victim of torture. Cristosal detected at least four cases: “The body of a 45-year-old man with an intellectual disability was moved to [the Institute of] Legal Medicine with different last names than those with which he was buried in a mass grave in La Bermeja Memorial Park. That same week, foreign representatives of a human rights organization entered the prison, but a guard had warned them in advance not to complain: “Visitors are going to come tomorrow, and the first [one to speak out] about the treatment here will die from electric shocks.”
