Book excerpt: "In March 2022, El Salvador's Legislative Assembly adopted a 'state of emergency,' suspending rights in the name of fighting gang violence. Security forces have since conducted hundreds of raids, particularly in low-income neighborhoods, arresting over 58,000 people, including more than 1,600 children. 'We Can Arrest Anyone We Want' documents widespread human rights violations committed during the state of emergency. These violations include arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, torture and other ill-treatment of detainees, and due process violations. Many detainees have died in custody. This joint report by Human Rights Watch and Cristosal shows that police and soldiers have carried out similar abuses repeatedly, across the country, and throughout a period of several months. President Nayib Bukele's dismantling of judicial independence has enabled violations, and government policies and senior officials' rhetoric have incentivized abuses."--Page 4 of cover.
