The Trump administration's agreement with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has contributed to a worrying trend of repression in the country. Recently, Ruth Lopez Alfaro, a prominent human rights lawyer, was detained without due process and held incommunicado. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and various organizations have condemned her arrest. This incident reflects a broader crackdown on dissent, with other recent arrests serving to silence critics and suppress peaceful protests, indicating a steep decline in civil liberties under Bukele's autocratic governance.
The Salvadorian police detained Ruth Lopez Alfaro, a prominent human rights lawyer, signaling a dangerous escalation in state repression against dissenters under Bukele's regime.
Her detention without due process raises alarms about the increasing authoritarianism in El Salvador, with calls for international human rights intervention growing louder.
