Familiares pregonan inocencia de personas detenidas en operativos contra pandilleros en El Salvador

Decenas de personas se manifestaron en la capital contra la captura de parientes que, según alegan, no tienen relación con grupos delictivos y exigieron su liberación

People demand the release of relatives they claim are innocent, who were arrested during the state of emergency decreed by the Salvadoran Government to combat criminal groups terrorizing the country, during a march from the Salvador del Mundo square to the presidential house, in San Salvador on July 19, 2022. - El Salvador has arrested around 46,000 suspected gang members since President Nayib Bukele launched a "war" in March. Bukele announced a state of emergency following a bloody weekend in which 87 people were killed in gang-related violence. Since then, the police and military have been rounding up suspected gang members using emergency powers that have done away with the need for arrest warrants. But rights groups have denounced the arbitrary arrest of many people, including minors, with no gang links. (Photo by Marvin RECINOS / AFP)

San Salvador. Decenas de familiares de detenidos en el marco del régimen de excepción con el que el Gobierno combate a las pandillas en El Salvador, marcharon este martes para pedir su liberación, alegando su presunta inocencia.

Durante la manifestación realizada en San Salvador, los participantes portaron pequeños carteles con la foto de algún pariente detenido y lucieron camisetas blancas mientras se dirigían hacia la Casa Presidencial, cuyos accesos fueron bloqueados.
