El Salvador arrests human rights attorney who slammed Bukele

In El Salvador, a prominent human rights attorney, Ruth Eleonora López, has been arrested for criticizing President Nayib Bukele, facing charges of stealing funds from her previous government job under former President Salvador Sánchez Cerén. The charges are part of a politically motivated campaign by Bukele’s administration to criminalize critics and suppress dissent amid its authoritarian tactics, which have led to widespread fear and human rights abuses in the country.
