El Salvador national police say they have arrested more than 2,000 people in just four days since the country declared a state of emergency because of a spike in gang-related violence. Human rights groups are concerned President Bukele’s crackdown is giving way to human rights violations.

#ElSalvador #GangActivity #GangViolence
Salvage them , wat about rights of their victims
Can someone go ahead and pay for their airfare and give them free room and board as well as food and come on over here to America and just go from border to border top to bottom and clean house the way they just did there America needs it
Well done, someone had to take a stand
The human rights is for hard working people I support the presidents bukele all countries should have the same law.
This is what Jamacia needs a President like this!!
These guys are murderers and rapists. They lost there human rights when they stopped being human.
human right violated???? really, how about the killing of innocent by gang??????
Arrest all those gang members and let them slaughter each other inside the prison.👊👊
Humanrights protecting the drugs n the gang members lol
Put Juan Poopier in the same jail cell with these hardcore criminals and watch him change his stance on human rights.
These ruthless gang members didn’t care for the people s equal rights let them rot
why are y’all mad about this. the only way this would be better would be if they ended up in a ditch instead
Best President ever 🇸🇻
Only time will tell and it will take time the president of El Salvador should be commended for his actions against all gang members he’s just doing his job and if there is any corruption in the local officials he should consider them gang members as well and deal with them swiftly
Nunca falta un pen.. defendiendo a los corruptos!! Juan Papie you need another job!!!! what about human rights for all the people they killed!!!
We need a Bukele in New York
And I hope parents teach their sons to act right or face similar consequences. And you human rights activists go live in El Salvador for a year and see if you have an issue with this strategy….Forming opinions while sipping lattes, sitting behind their laptops in their ac office.
execute gang members to make space in prisons
NOT EVERYONE IS IN THE MS13. THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT. STARVING PRISONERS IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
This is people are wrong .no right to do this
Yeah what do you think El Salvador is sending those boys to good old USA thank you El Salvador
Wonder if these hardcores thought of the human rights of the people they terrorized?
Asking for a friend.
State of curfew put in place to avoid being forced to take leave, under the influence & depression these job seekers are trying to cope with.
This is what Mexico has to do
There never was a drop in violence. Murders just stopped being reported as murders and istead were reported as disapearances.
It is good that gangs are getting what they deserve. The problem right now is that a lot of inocent people are getting jailed along with gangs members. I don’t know the answer to this problem but previous governments have already tried this kind of solution and it only ended up worsening the problem.
Further, the ES government has captured 3 gang leaders wanted for acts of terrorism in the US and has been refusing to extradite them for over a year now.
Now you take that information and do what you wish of it but something feels really off about all this stuff that is happening right now in ES.
A man trying to save what’s left of his country..god bless him … bring back public hanging sir …

Good to see law enforcement doing good work.
should detain all these human rights activists and put them in prison with the gangs. Then see if they change their chirping!
Forget human rights what about the rights of all those killed by them? Remember these are criminals… people have the right to feel safe.
good job im not in charge cuz i would be torturing all the gangs 1 person at a time
I grew up in El Salvador being PETRIFIED of gangs and living with fear. I heard horrible stories of gang members torturing innocent people, kids and kidnapping them as well.
My mom even saw someone trying to scape from the back of a car, he was chained and fell off while the gangsters were driving. Many people would try to start local businesses/restaurants etc and the gangs would extort them, if not they would attack their families. That Argentinian dude should move to ES to see what it’s like
“We don’t know it’s working” lol he’s a fool ofcourse it working didn’t you hear the civilians say it was working? Some sus about that guy 🤔
A beautiful sea of flesh
You have eliminate society’s cancer, there has to due process of law..
Good! Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
That’s the way is done
These gang’s are thugs they have no code of conduct or ethics they terrorising people I say good on you Mr president Clean Up the rubbish that corupts the youth and Family’s these are evil people they think what they do is fun and exciting
Put those criminals in the homes of the scums from human rights. I bet won’t take them. Lmao…
Good
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼good
BUKELY is doing the best for the country I don’t understand the media making him seem like the bad guy but he is only trying to make the country safer for the hard working people.I fully support Bukely best leader of all times
Ehhh who cares about street rat gangsters
we need him at Mexico next
Good job el salvador police cleaning house!
Good!!!
These people are clearly marked with gang tattoos so if theres police in your neighborhood what are they worried about?
Completely necessary.
Excellent job..! Keep it up..!!
A drop in the murder rate and they don’t know if it’s related to the thousands of gang meme bets arrested? C’mon now. They can’t be that clueless.
Good!!!
Ofcourse the media is gonna side with the criminals 😂
“It’s invading their human rights 😂😂 “ alright
US wants them to make taxes
This will be what the United States looks like, soon, if we don’t take action! Human rights do not include gangs, when found a nice quiet disappearance and demise would be fitting!
Human rights being violated?What about these thugs killing people,i say exterminate them.Better president than brainless biden
Criminals lose all their rights. That is the WHOLE POINT.
F*** their rights do they give the victim’s any right before gang members go to shoot the victim to the victims have a right to an attorney
Keep up the good work need that here
There were over 70 deaths in one Saturday in Chicago. But no one cares. At least el Salvador is doing something.
Well you can’t compare 🫐 to 🍈
I am past the point of worrying about the rights of criminals (not suspects but proven criminals) as I see the country descend into violence.
Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow!!!!, what if this happens to the United States.
Bukele is what many country’s need to protect there hard working citizens. If you choose crime you give up your rights!
This is the same thing these human rights has been doing in the Philippines. War on drugs worked so well and it lowered the crime rate by more than half, but these human rights advocate dont care about that. They cared more about the criminals, more than the law abiding citizens.
Therefore This government is doing well also for their citizens.
Too bad America wont take notes!!!
Finally 🙄
We need Bukele in Dominican Republic. A great president
“13,573 terrorists (detained) in just 24 days. We continue…” President Nayib Bukele said! God Bless this LEADER! And YES IT WAS EXTENDED!!
Im with the president & the police ! What about the rights of the innocent people! Good job !!!!!
Criminals once proven guilty has no any rights, burn them alive so the prospective criminals will be in horror!
Good to see them cracking down cuz these guys bang very hard
Countries troubled by gangs in this scale NEEDS a dictator and not a parlament arguing for years over reforms that won’t work.
62 murders in ONE day? If that happened in Europe the politicans would argue for years wether if it’s bad schools or healthcare causing these murders.
Hey US did this with Guantanamo bay.
America always trying to get involved in other countries business.
Exactly. Trying to divide big countries too. So US has more power.
This isn’t in the united states
God bless bukele
Good job. 😊
Juan, he needs to shut the f*** up and let this president do his job. So annoying. He needs to focus on America’s gas price. 😅
It’s working.
Media trying to turn a view.
Absolutely NOTHING that guy Pappier says about El Salvador cares to the Salvadorian people, that guy has his OWN AGENDA against Nayib Bukele, it seems like he is getting paid to put down any effort the President do to improve the country.
Good for them
These human rights people need too go live there . They would change their minds quick. God bless their president
I will never live there
He right leave him alone. Its his country. Oh please they know he not playing.
I see it as a excellent measure against the MS and the narco gangs. Enough is enough. Mexico should do the same but the lame and inept presidente lopez obrador doesn’t do nothing.
Now is 30,000 gánster in the jail we love president bukele all salvadoreans we support president bukele stop talking the president violated human rights because is not true no one from other countries live in El Salvador 🇸🇻 just talking trash go live to soyapango in El Salvador for a few days and after talking about is safe or not because the gangsters in El Salvador criminals with not compassion to the neighbors or any person they are the Diablo so international community stop talking trash about my county El Salvador 🇸🇻
USA pay attention!
I left my home country b/c of the gangs and death treats. What Bukele is doing is the right thing!! Do not defend the criminals.
They lost their humans rights when they took the lives of innocents.
NAYIB BUKELE is the best president of EL SALVADOR and the 97% of the population loves him, #GuerraContraPandillas The human rights shuld not interfere. there are 30,500 gangs members arrested.
Juan papier is full of s*** I invite you to live in El Salvador for a couple weeks and go out at night to some sketchy neighborhoods see if you come out live you dummy don’t know anything about the situation over here but yet you still defending all those gángsters easy to see you probably are connected and you with the humans right how come you never came when all the good people were getting killed over nothing where were your so called “human rights” for all the people that got killed bukele is doing the best thing right now hope they all die in prison!
Bukele 💪❤️
NBC 💩
Bukele is 💪❤️
NBC is 💩
High pitch voice
Imagine getting mad at someone for taking care of criminals the way it should be.I bet these same people believe a homeless person who violated someone should get away with it since they are supposedly mentally ill.The law abiding citizens safety comes first that’s why here in California the homeless have more rights than the tax paying citizens and people have the nerve to protect these people over the business owners who can’t get business due to homeless setting up shop.How about mind your business since you are not going to take in the criminals into your home.These activists should be silenced for trying to protect criminals and harming the public we don’t need those types of people getting involved.
no mames. human rights being violated? that man is a legend getting rid of violent people.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE’S HUMAN RIGHTS, THEY ARE THE WORST HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS. I DON’T EVEN CARE IF THEYRE BEING TORTURED, TREAT THEM LIKE ANIMALS
