On July 10, 2026, 80 international religious and faith-based organizations, human rights and immigrant rights groups, unions and Salvadoran diaspora groups published a letter calling for the release of Salvadoran unionist and community organizer Geovanni Aguirre, arrested on May 8, 2022, under Bukele's State of Exception. 

The trial of nine Salvadoran Civil War veterans and a communications volunteer from the Alliance for a Peaceful El Salvador, scheduled to begin on August 11, has been postponed until September 7–10, further prolonging more than two years of pretrial detention in a case already marked by serious due process violations.

On Saturday, July 30, students at El Salvador’s national university commemorated 51 years since the July 30th,1975 student massacre. On that historic, heroic, and tragic day, thousands of university students, professors, and workers marched in the streets of San Salvador alongside campesinos, urban workers, and middle school and high school students to demand respect for the sovereignty of the university, which was under attack and to protest the generalized conditions of political repression under the military government of Col Arturo Molina.
