"But critics say that the drop has come at the expense of human rights. Mass arrests have been conducted, sweeping up people thought to be innocent of any crime.
Suspects have been detained without the right to legal defence or even to know why they were arrested. And in 2023, Bukele's government authorised mass trials of up to 900 people.
