El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has initiated a crackdown on human rights organizations by withholding 30% of their income, mirroring similar actions by Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega. This decision came after military police violently intervened in a protest by 300 farming families, marking a historic escalation in the government's response to dissent. The protest, concerning eviction threats against the community, led to the arrest of community leaders, with reports of police brutality during the arrests. This situation reflects increasing governmental control over civil rights and freedoms in El Salvador.
These new restrictions mirror the actions of Nicaraguaâs Daniel Ortega, aiming to limit the influence of NGOs while further consolidating power within the government.
The violent intervention is unprecedented since the peace accords, signaling a dramatic escalation in the government's response to dissent and civil liberties.
