CISPES: Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador

On Monday December 9 the National Assembly, controlled by Nayib Bukele’s Nuevas Ideas party, voted to extend the country’s State of Exception, which has suspended basic civil rights since March 2022, for the 33rd time. Within this context, Salvadoran social movements and civil society organizations commemorated International Human Rights Day (December 10) with multiple days of action highlighting emblematic cases and situations that altogether exemplify the Bukele government’s widespread and systematic attack on human rights in El Salvador.
