El Salvador national police say they have arrested more than 2,000 people in just four days since the country declared a state of emergency because of a spike in gang-related violence. Human rights groups are concerned President Bukele’s crackdown is giving way to human rights violations.

Excelent work. Mr president bukele you are the best #1
I'm el Salvador and I seen a lot soliders and police and I seen people getting arrested and I get sad about it
The thing is el salvador isn't a democracy anymore. According to their president, it's a dictatorship.
They are going harder and harder on the gangs. Is it working? Does this death rate seem like it's working? Compare these rates to the truce. It's not even comparable. As much as everyone hates the gangs (I do as well, I've been robbed twice by them) revenge isn't the goal. It's helping people and this isn't helping.
Having an iron fist doesn't stop violence. You wanna know what stops violence? Less inequality and more jobs.
We don’t know if it’s working. Violence is down. Sounds like an angry American not getting the corruption they wish.
All blood type o I (Bet)…. separate the wheat from the tares.
america es buena para america y mala para los de mas. lo mismo con la mara salvatrucha. ghadafi, sadam hussain, bin laden, irans general, etc, etc. many brutaly murdered. dice delinquentes. no. seguro no. ustedes seguro son. rehabilitation system much? animales
Well it’s convenient these neanderthals tattoo themselves for their gangs. No need to investigate, that’s enough for me to be happy they’re locked up
How would she be quiet and let the president do his thing 60 something that's in one day by gang members that's why a lot of them come to America I love what you doing Mr President of Salvador
I'm sorry a lot of people go to jail in America and didn't do anything so I just save for the people that were caught in the area where the games be look like a gang member smell like a gang member arrest them get them off the street
He's making a point so what put it on social media to let them know this is a no no
I love it why on games
I only feel empathy for the ones that are being wrongly convicted
Que viva Rey bukele jerarquia juzticia que pagen derramiento de sangres de los inocentes
Those turkeys are cooked.
america es buena para america y mala para los de mas. lo mismo con la mara salvatrucha. ghadafi, sadam hussain, bin laden, irans general, etc, etc. many brutaly murdered. dice delinquentes. no. seguro no. ustedes seguro son. rehabilitation system much? animales
nbc support crooks
Les aplaudimos a los DERECHOS HUMANOS pero , ESTA VEZ NO METAN SU PINCHE NARIZ estos individuos aterrorizan ala gente bien . Son la escoria de la sociedades ya que los dejen ahí .
They're being much too gentle. Better to break their spines and leave them to rot once they join a gang.
Gang members are not human and they deserve no human rights.
A civil war again
Las Madres tambien tienen culpa .
Pero la Gente tambien don't want to hear that.
The only and right way to safe the innocent citizens is to punish gang members hard and without emotions!
They was killers and rapists….no mercy!!
Yes the country has messed up with arresting innocent people just because of a tattoo.
Dead to gang’s it’s cancer to El Salvador
What a reporter of crap ugh.
Abc fake news !!!
I really believe that the Salvatore President should come to America to help us with our gangs and crimes come on Trump step it up
These "human rights activists" need to be thrown into these cells with some of these gangbangers so they face the reality 😂😂😂
Trump 2024
They need to do that in Mexico too with the cartels
Well done by Bukele
he is doing great, he is doing what he must for his people, anyone concerned about them gang mambers take them with you then
We want a country free of gangs!!!People outside our land do not understand how difficult this situation is
Anyone defending gangs should live in the gang infested neighborhoods – just even 1 day… then they would be begging Bukele to lock them up. Pappier, give it a try.
nayib you are the best in the world
an eye for an eye will make the world blind
this is how the new world order will function. the word of the merciful God was to heavy for some
you rehabilitate those prisoners for what? the whole country is a ruin. to talk about justice in a country like that is the greatest insult to intelligence
God bless you Mr. President you are the best
United States need one president strong late Nayib bukele?
What about the civil rights of the victims by the gang bangers?
It's mind boggling how people care so much about criminals and their civil rights. Good job President
Bukele is the best president in the world
It’s working, I see no wrong with what the President there is doing. They need to do that here in the United States. Human rights? You wanna talk about human rights when these gangs have zero sympathy for the civilians they murder everyday.
