By all criteria, this a concentration camp. Not “concentration camp” as rhetorical inflation, or emotionally manipulative shorthand, or edgy metaphor—but as in: literally.

As in: detention without trial, state control, inhumane living conditions, forced labor, dehumanization, brutal violence, isolation from accountability, psychological torture, and—by every available logical extension—murder.

That last one we can’t yet verify in the strict evidentiary sense, but the circumstances suggest it like smoke suggests fire, and they are already trying to hide their actions and deny what is occurring.

    Gotcha, if that’s true the article author is being a bit misleading then… do you happen to have a link to anything else I could read to learn more? I’m from Scotland and I don’t expect my views to matter, I wasn’t actually sharing an opinion, just asking a question 😅 If you’re from the area I’m sure you know a lot more about it than me!

      If you have a chance and time watch a documentary on YouTube called la Vida Loca Directed by Christian Poveda from France, I’m not telling you to watch it to show you that gangs are bad because the last person I tried to tell them to watch this because I wanted them to see what the average El Salvadoran person lived before Bukele cleaned the country up. It’s a really good documentary unfortunately the director was killed in the hands of the same gang members that allowed him to film them. It’s crazy because these people on these websites they form an opinion and when you try to enlighten them they don’t wanna hear that or see they just wanna believe their opinion. And they downvote you when the same losers have never even stepped foot in El Salvador. When I tried to tell someone to watch the documentary the small minded person that they are said “I wasn’t born yesterday I know gangs and cartels are bad” but that wasn’t the reason I Told them to watch it, that’s common sense that cartels and gangs are violent
