Prisoners look out of their cell at CECOT prison One year after El Salvador began receiving deportees at its Terrorism Confinement Center, a new report by Human Rights Watch says the Central American country is disappearing and arbitrarily detaining Salvadorans deported from the United States. Since the Trump administration and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele reached an agreement for the Central American country to receive deportees in its mega prison, detainees, human rights activists and other organizations have denounced a wide range of violations taking place at the facility, including torture, sexual abuse and inhumane conditions. The report was based on 20 interviews with relatives and lawyers of 11 Salvadorans who were deported from the United States between March and October of last year and were immediately detained in El Salvador.
