Abstract
Two weeks had passed since Ruth Eleonora López's detention. López, a prominent lawyer and head of the Anti-Corruption and Justice Unit of Cristosal, a human rights organization that has exposed numerous instances of corruption linked to Nayib Bukele's administration, was arrested on May 18, 2025. She appeared before the twelfth Peace Court in San Salvador on the morning of June 4, dressed in prison whites, her handcuffs not preventing her from holding a Bible. Among her first words were: "I want a public trial!" [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
