Government Savior Early last Friday morning, 2,000 suspected gang members were transferred to a new prison that can accommodate about 40,000 people, according to President Naib Bukele’s announcement.
“Today at dawn, in one operation, we transferred the first 2,000 members of the gang to the Center for Combating Terrorism (CECOT),” the president wrote on his social networks.
He added: “This will be their new home, where they will live for decades, mixed up, unable to cause more harm to the population.”
Despite the government not notifying the transfers, dozens of relatives went to the La Esperanza prison, known as Mariona, in San Salvador. According to the news agency EFE, about 150 people gathered at this place, several buses left the premises.
bukele CECOT was opened at the end of January, and Minister of Public Works Romeo Rodriguez told the President that the prison would “become the largest prison in all of America” and that “a prisoner will not be able to get out” of the prison. compound that has 23 acres of construction
Building this jail This comes amid opposition criticism of a lack of transparency, largely due to the passing of a law in the ruling party-dominated Legislative Assembly to bypass traditional controls on public works.
In early February, Amnesty International (AI) raised concerns about this new prison in Saviorand expressed “deep concern” given that “the construction of this new prison could mean the continuation and escalation of these violations.”
More than 64,000 people accused by the government of gang membership have been arrested under a state of emergency last March following an escalation in killings, according to official figures, of which more than 3,300 have been released.
Humanitarian organizations in El Salvador and the Human Rights Ombudsman’s Office (PDDH) have received more than 7,900 complaints of violations, most of which concern arbitrary detention.
Authorities attribute the drop in homicides to the measure and the Territorial Control Plan, which was 496 in 2022, down 57% from 2021, according to official figures. (E.F.E.)
