@lawyersforlawyers.bsky.social urges #ElSalvador to comply with #IACHR measures for detained lawyers Ruth López & Enrique Anaya.
Both remain incommunicado, at grave risk.
Their detention attacks due process & the independence of the legal profession.
Cristosal stands with victims, survivors & communities in Central America who refuse to give up hope.
Receiving the @humanrightsfirst.org William D. Zabel Award honors their struggle and our shared fight for dignity.
✊ Thank you for standing with us.

Surf & sunshine on the outside.
Overcrowded prisons & forced disappearances inside.

Repression carries heavy costs - but so does the courage of those who keep defending truth, justice, and democracy in Central America. In a time of shrinking civic space, solidarity and informed action are essential. That’s why we invite you to join us for our upcoming Field Notes. sl1nk.com/uYDhy

We mourn the passing of Fr. José María Tojeira, S.J.—tireless defender of human rights, former Rector of the UCA, and dear friend of Cristosal. His legacy of justice and dignity will live on in our peoples’ memory.

📣 In El Salvador, prisons have become a machinery of state extortion: families must pay bribes for visits, food, or medicine.
Authoritarianism is not security — it is corruption.

🇸🇻 Tras 25 años defendiendo DDHH en El Salvador, Noah Bullock, director de @cristosal.bsky.social, hoy vive en exilio. En esta entrevista, explica cómo Bukele desmanteló la democracia y por que los 86,000 detenidos sin juicio son solo el inicio.

Today marks 100 days since Ruth’s unjust imprisonment.
A lawyer, professor & mother, she has devoted her life to defending victims of abuse and challenging corruption.
We cannot let her voice be silenced.

La organización @cristosal.bsky.social jugó un papel fundamental en la batalla legal para defender a los venezolanos deportados al CECOT. En julio tuvieron que salir del país ante una escalada represiva del gobierno de Bukele. www.elnuevoherald.com/noticias/ame...
#CristosalStatement | With the recent reforms enacted by the Assembly in El Salvador, for example, an innocent person captured at the beginning of the regime could spend more than 5 years in prison without being convicted. Read our position below.
