El Salvador carries out mass trial against alleged leaders of the Mara Salvatrucha. They will be accused of homicide, disappearance of people, extortion, arms trafficking, human trafficking and democratic damage.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has made the fight against crime a cornerstone of his administration. He was re-elected on Sunday in a landslide, as his policies remain popular with voters despite concerns from human rights groups about violations committed during the arrest of some 76,000 people, often without due process.
