In a stark report, Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) documents persistent human rights violations in El Salvador over the past four years, highlighting the erosion of democratic institutions and the rule of law. The findings detail widespread police brutality, arbitrary detentions, and targeted attacks on journalists and opposition figures, all occurring amid a climate of impunity and state-sponsored intimidation.

WOLA’s analysis underscores how these abuses are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic pattern designed to consolidate power and silence dissent. The report calls for urgent accountability measures, including independent investigations, judicial reforms, and international oversight to restore civil liberties and protect vulnerable populations.
