El Salvador's murder rate has fallen dramatically - but at what cost?
The images from inside El Salvador's new mega prison - the Centre for Terrorist Confinement (CECOT) - are stark and shocking.
Hundreds of inmates, all with shaved heads and covered in tattoos cower in front of heavily armed guards. The government’s war on gangs has resulted in more than 1% of the population being incarcerated.
The state admits it’s locked up 75,000 people for gang-related offences in the past year. Human rights groups estimate more than 1,000 children have been locked up and have documented 153 deaths in custody.
The zero-tolerance approach has been successful in dramatically cutting the country’s previously chronic murder rate since a State of Emergency was introduced in March 2022.
El Salvador used to have the world’s highest murder rate; 106 homicides per 100,000 people in 2015. But now it’s fallen to 7.6 per 100,000 and may drop even lower this year. The government says there have been 69 murders this year. In the worst days of the gang violence, they were getting that many killings every other day.
But it has come at a high price in terms of human rights.
The ornate mausoleums erected for gang leaders have been demolished by chain gangs of prisoners.
Interviewer: Priest Isakowicz-Zaleski critized you for taking another trip to Ukraine and your lack of courage to remember the victims of Wołyń. It's hypocrisy and cowardice
President Duda: I would prefer if the priest focused on what a priest should focus on. I would prefer him not to be politically engaged but be a Priest.

Nearly a year ago, Netflix released its initial trailer for the film Athena about a future civil war that commences when African and Arab immigrants begin rioting after an Algerian youth is shot dead at the hands of the police.
Fast forward to today and the events of Athena are taking place before our very eyes.
