El Salvador's Tough Approach on Crime

El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, has implemented tough security measures, including a state of exception, resulting in a significant increase in arrests and a drastic reduction in the country's homicide rate. However, human rights advocates are raising concerns about the conditions in prisons and the suspension of civil liberties. While some Salvadorians support Bukele's approach, others believe it may infringe on civil rights. Bukele's strategy has garnered attention from other Latin American leaders, who are considering similar security measures.
