El Salvador's Bukele plans to free half arrested under emergency rule
Original: El Salvador's Bukele unveils plan to free up to 50% arrested under state of emergency
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has announced a plan to release up to 50% of the people arrested under the country's sweeping state of emergency, under which tens of thousands have been detained in his crackdown on gangs. The announcement is drawing attention to the mass detentions and their human rights implications.
Why now: The mass arrests under the state of emergency have been widely criticised, so a large-scale release plan is major human rights news.
