Human rights group Cristosal exits El Salvador, citing a hostile environment under President Nayib Bukele's government. The organisation, known for documenting abuses by gangs and state actors, has shut local operations and relocated staff after its lawyer was arrested. Since Bukele took office in 2019, critics argue that the justice system has been used to silence dissent, while a state of emergency imposed in 2022 has curtailed constitutional rights and press freedom. Several activists and journalists have fled the country amid growing fears. Reports also reveal nearly six in ten Salvadorans fear speaking out against the government. Watch to know more.
