The media assures that the downward trend in crime continues in November due to the continuity of the emergency regime and the territorial control plan.
The National Civil Police (PNC) said in its latest report that the total number of confirmed days without homicides is 217, a number achieved from January 1 to November 16 this year.
The day before, the Movement of Victims of the Regime (Movir) assured that so far in November alone, four imprisoned people had died at the hands of the Salvadoran state following the introduction of the emergency regime.
The group that protested last Saturday in the center of El Salvador, near the accommodation of the “misses” who took part in the beauty pageant, announced this Sunday that the death of Deysi Yolanda took place in the Apanteos Correctional Center. Reinosa Ascencio, originally from El Refugio, Ahuachapán.
According to human rights organizations, 206 prisoners have already died under the emergency regime, something the authorities deny.
In this context, Andrés Guzmán Caballero, Presidential Commissioner for Human Rights and Freedom of Expression, explained last week that Movir must present concrete cases with a list of victims and the individual cases to help them; Otherwise, we have nothing to do in a meeting.
“There is no Salvadoran who is not guaranteed human rights, there are individual cases and each case is examined independently,” he stressed.
The group stated in its complaint that Reinosa Ascencio died on Saturday, November 18, while receiving medical care at the Chalchuapa Hospital in Santa Ana and was held in the same ward at the Apanteos Penitentiary after an emergency detention.
“While some are happy about Miss Universe 2023, another family is mourning the death of a loved one due to the emergency regime,” the group wrote on its social networks.
With Reinosa’s death, 206 people have now died in government custody since March 2022, according to Humanitarian Legal Aid (SJH), indicating that 60 percent of these deaths resulted from violence.
