In El Salvador, nine grassroots leaders and members of the Alianza Nacional El Salvador en Paz, including elderly excombatientes, have been arrested on accusations related to their protests against President Bukele's reelection. These leaders, including Atilio Montalvo and Jose Santos Melara, face six months of pre-trial detention as ordered by the Tribunal Primero contra el Crimen Organizado. There are widespread calls for their immediate release, citing the risk to their lives and the need to restore due process. Critics denounce the judicial system under Bukele's administration for political persecution and human rights violations.
