El Salvador declares a state of emergency, curtailing civil liberties and expanding police power as the country faces a wave of gang-related violence that has left dozens dead in just two days
El Salvador has declared a state of emergency, curtailing civil liberties and expanding police power as the country faces a wave of gang-related bloodshed that has left dozens dead in just two days.— to meet to declare a state of emergency, under which certain freedoms are curtailed.
The declaration — approved by a large majority — restricts free assembly, the inviolability of correspondence and communications, and allows for arrests without a warrant. The Salvadoran constitution says that a state of emergency can be put into place "in cases of war, invasion of territory, rebellion, sedition, catastrophe, epidemic or other general calamity, or serious disturbances of public order." Gang violence has soared in El Salvador, with police reporting that 62 people were killed on Saturday alone.
"We will not back down in this war against gangs, we will not rest until the criminals responsible for these acts are captured and brought to justice," the country's National Civil Police posted on Twitter.
