Description
A leading rights group investigating corruption in El Salvador says it has been forced into exile due to "escalating repression" by President Nayib Bukele's administration.
The Cristosal group is a vocal critic of Bukele's controversial anti-crime policies and also provides assistance to families of migrants deported by the United States and imprisoned in El Salvador.
Announcing its exit at a press conference in Guatemala, the NGO blames "harassment," "espionage" and "defamation" for the "painful decision to suspend our operations in El Salvador." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
