Han pasado 13 meses desde que el gobierno de Nayib Bukele ordenó a la Asamblea Legislativa de El Salvador decretar el estado de excepción después de una ola de violencia en el país centroamericano que cobró la vida de 87 salvadoreños en tres días a manos de las pandillas.

Durante ese tiempo, la organización Cristosal, quien vela por los Derechos Humanos, estuvo llevando a cabo investigaciones y entrevistas que revelan datos preocupantes sobre esta materia en El Salvador, ya que las detenciones arbitrarias, la violencia y las muertes de personas bajo custodia policial son consideradas crímenes de lesa humanidad.

La organización presentó estos datos en un informe que considera el estado de excepción como “la suspensión permanente de garantías constitucionales como la única herramienta de política pública que implementa el Gobierno”.
