📍 El deterioro democrático de El Salvador en 2025 continúa a un ritmo alarmante. Desde la redetención de defensores ambientales y el arresto de abogados de derechos humanos hasta el desplazamiento forzado de periodistas y la extensión del estado de excepción hasta 2027, el control autoritario del gobierno de Bukele se intensifica. Esta línea de tiempo documenta momentos clave de represión bajo el régimen del presidente Nayib Bukele — un recordatorio contundente de por qué estamos honrando a MOVIR, el Movimiento de Víctimas del Régimen de El Salvador, con nuestro Premio de Derechos Humanos 2025. Desliza para ver cómo el espacio democrático ha sido sistemáticamente desmantelado. 👉 Conoce más sobre la crisis de derechos humanos en El Salvador en www.wola.org #ElSalvador #DerechosHumanos #PresosPoliticos #WOLA #PremioDerechosHumanos
