This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)

> El Salvador's Legislative Assembly approved the suspension of some fundamental rights following an outburst of violence from the country's powerful street gangs.

> ADVERTISEMENT. Many of the abuses have been previously reported by Human Rights Watch and local civil society organization Cristosal, but the government data added some detail.

Well reading the article more closely, it seems that the goverrnment has enormous success against formerly crippling crime rates. I'm all for human rights but I kind of find it unfair to slander a government that has rare success against a crime problem in Latin America. Unfortunately it might be the smaller evil accepting rough practices by law enforcement compared to the country being controlled by gangs.

I feel this is propoganda because they just paid off their debt. They Will be rich when Bitcoin goes up and not owe anything to the world bank. When while USA Canada and most countries are going deeper into debt supporting and pushing for a war in Ukraine.
