Inside El Salvador’s secretive mega-jail – BBC News

Published

on



A investigation has used computer generated reconstructions to reveal what life is like Cecot, El Salvador’s so-called ‘mega-jail’.

The reconstruction was made possible thanks to videos and photos shared by the government, and media outlets who were given access to the prison before it opened.

Cecot has become a symbol of President Nayib Bukele’s notorious “war against gangs”, which the country’s ministry of security says has resulted in the detention of at least 68,000 people since the campaign began in March 2022.

    The narrator for this is perfect.
    The story is just as depressing as her voice & delivery.

    MS-13 in El Salvador was the equivalent of Al-Queda to Afghanistan. Why does el salvador have to give explanations on capturing terrorists but the UN can drop a bomb on 30 and not care about “human rights”. Hypocrites.

    The cancellation of human rights for individuals convicted of murder should be considered from a professional standpoint. It is noteworthy that there are external sources that tend to prioritize the defense of criminals, rather than focusing on the progress and successes of other nations.

    To all those so worried about these animals, contact our Salvadoran government and ask them to send them your way so you all can have them at your houses and let’s see how long your families last.
    Basically, don’t talk 💩 if you don’t know how living in that hell really is, these are not lovely kinds and those aren’t crayon marks, are proves of their crimes.

    Sooo we suggest that if these international so called countries defending human rights have things to say about how this country makes population safer they can take all these prisoners into their own countries as political refugees.
    El salvador will even pay for their transportation!!
    You guys call it a problem but wont take them into your countries 😂😂😂😂

    When I think of humane prison conditions I think of room to stretch, decent food, a warm bed, and the ability to shower and use a toilet privately. That's a concern here but access to outsiders doesn't qualify due to the nature of the gang culture. Yes, it sucks badly when a loved one gets incarcerated and you can't get see and/or talk to them. Nobody should be dehumanized to the level that we lack compassion but the MS-13 gang is f**ked up! I was raised in soCal and even there they're a serious problem. Utilizing monuments as a recruiting tool is unacceptable. It teaches kids there that life isn't cheap if you join the gang, people will remember you. That's bullsh*t, the gang itself is the reason for the problem of treating people as disposable in the first place. As a parent there (I'm not) I would be vigilant to ensure my kids didn't fall into that lifestyle. I'm happy that the President there is actually trying help future generations via the school of hard knocks. I just pray that the prisoners are treated with basic respect even if they don't deserve it. Always rise above.

    BBC makes me sick. They're ALWAYS on the wrong side of every issue. If someone were to invent a cure for cancer pill, BBC would do a hit piece on it showing how poor and hungry the former staff of cancer research centers are and tell you you're heartless for not feeling sorry for them as they no longer have a job (doing nothing) and eat out of trashcans (still doing nothing but no longer being paid by taxpayers.)

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
