The New Lines Institute has released a stark analysis showing how U.S. aid and political alignment have enabled systematic human rights violations in El Salvador. By funding security forces and shaping policy, Washington has effectively become complicit in abuses that target activists, journalists, and marginalized communities.

Key findings highlight that U.S. military assistance, coupled with diplomatic backing, has emboldened a regime that routinely employs violence and intimidation. The report calls for immediate policy reassessment, urging the U.S. to withdraw support that perpetuates injustice and to enforce accountability mechanisms for those responsible.

In pursuit of truth and justice, the Institute demands that international actors hold both U.S. allies and domestic actors accountable, ensuring reparations for victims and a genuine commitment to human rights.
