San Salvador. Ante las recientes reformas al Código Procesal Penal aprobadas por la Asamblea Legislativa en el marco del régimen de excepción en El Salvador, la abogada Tahnya Pastor manifestó que estas deben ser aplicadas a las personas que en verdad hayan cometido un delito, es decir, cuando las investigaciones demuestren su culpabilidad y no generalizar.

“Siempre debemos buscar equilibrio y hay que ser cautelosos; no podemos afirmar que todos los detenidos son pandilleros; pero tampoco podemos afirmar que todos los que denuncian son inocentes”, expresó la también analista político.
