SUMMARY:Mass Incarceration in El Salvador
DESCRIPTION:What is going on in El Salvador and how does this matter to Canada?  \nIn March 2022 the Nayib Bukele administration in El Salvador invoked an emergency measure called a “state of exception” in reaction to a spike in gang violence. \nUnder the pretext of protecting public order\, this measure suspends freedoms of assembly\, association\, and expression\, as well as fundamental rights surrounding arrest and detention. These include the right of habeas corpus\, the right to be informed of the reasons for detention\, access to legal assistance\, and numerous guarantees of due process. \nThough the Constitution allows for such exceptional measures on a temporary basis\, the state of exception has been renewed continuously on a monthly basis\, making it a permanent security policy. It is also wielded as a tool of repression against environmental defenders\, human rights workers\, lawyers\, journalists\, political opposition members\, and others. \nOver 91\,000 people have been imprisoned under the emergency regime\, making El Salvador’s incarceration rate the highest in the world at 2% of the population. \nThere has been a dramatic drop in gang-perpetrated murders\, but at the cost of a human rights catastrophe. National and international organizations have documented dismaying patterns such as arrests for alleged gang membership with no evidence\, often in poor communities\, persecution and arrest of courageous defenders of human rights\, environment\, and democracy\, severe mistreatment in detention amounting to torture\, and preposterous and cruel collective trials of hundreds at a time on gang-related charges. According to the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) there have been 483 deaths in custody.  \nJoin us on August 10\, Prisoners’ Justice Day\, for a panel discussion and educational Q&A session on who is being affected by unjust imprisonment in El Salvador\, and Canada’s stake in the erosion of democracy and human rights in the country. \nOur featured speakers – Samuel Ramirez\, activist with the Movement for the Victims of the Regime in El Salvador (MOVIR) \nOther speakers to be announced.
