11:34 am
say innocent people have been targeted by police. we look at how the state of exception is changing el salvador. ah, helping us unpack the current state of the state of exception. we have tamara, daniel tits yano, so good to have all of you here on the stream. tamara, please introduce yourself. hello audience, who you are, what you do? hello. thank you for having me. my name is dan i that are suca. i am the americas acting director at human rights watch. danielle, great to have you on the screen. please introduce yourself to our stream audience. hi, i'm done. you know, but i'm going. i'm an independent journalist of salvatore. heritage. it's a happy anteriano. welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself. try international audience. good to see again for me. thanks for having me and good company. we've done it on tomorrow to central america . analysts, the international crisis group. all right, looking forward to analysis. all right, do you have analysis?
11:35 am
do you have questions, comments for like not very welcome to be part of today. show. put your thoughts into the comments section and then join the discussion. daniel, i'm just looking at a few of our areas headlines from earlier this year from spring time in the northern hemisphere. i'm looking at our salvador, declare a state of emergency off the gang killings that was in march. and then more recently, 3rd in gan carrying spurs fear uncertainty in el salvador. one more headline of salvador extends state of emergency amid gang crackdown. you have been reporting on gangs in el salvador for so many years. did you know that once the president had said, we are going to go to war with gaggs? we are cracking down that this was inevitable. this was going to happen. yes, because brother enabled kelly has always pursued a militaristic plan. he one time storm congress and february 2020. when he 1st started as president, he stormed congress, asking for them to, you know,
11:36 am
increase the military budget because he has always wanted to sort of use the gang war as an excuse to militarize the country. and you know the game or is not new, it didn't start with as been many presidents before him. i've tried to tackle this problem and have also tried to do a gang war, so he's not doing anything quite original. it's part of southern politics, gangs, and violence are fortunate part of life, and salvador is a big issue, but the way he is going about it is causing a lot of concern. a lot of human rights abuses are being alleged. and yeah, it's, it is, it is concerning for a lot of us who are salvadorans, who have family back and saga were trans national people. and so what happens in chicago has a direct effect out here because, you know, that's a lot of the migration waves have been because of this gang violence for decades. tissue. and i'm just wondering if you could summarize some of these emergency
11:37 am
measures that have been in place temporarily since march. well, thanks for me. i'm actually, i mean if i can just jump in on. daniel's comment. i think definitely the law enforcement beat of the security policy which was enshrined in the plan that was really never known to the public which is called a return control plan was an important one. but it is actually true, and i think we should recognize that there's also part of this of these policy, which is based on community intervention, the building of so called cubes, which are basically laser centers for to be space for the young 3 in regina last communities. to train to learn to play. and so there's been a double face that the government has been using in the new art and wanting to the fact that in parallel as investigation as we basically in 2020,
11:38 am
still already ad warned. or that this could be going and then in the fall, found out with more evidence they work on their station with the gang going on to negotiate, basically day reduction on the sides. and that's actually what led apparently to these spiking killings in march with $87.00 people killed in a span of a 3 days when the average was like one or 2 per day. and which led to the government to respond with these clamp down which includes as. ready were asking the, the temporary attentions time from $72.00 to be extended from 72 hours to 15 days. the suspension of the law, right, of legal defense basically to the freedom of assembly. and was accompanied also by legal reforms to increase the sentences for belonging to just belonging to gangs and sent trying underage people as adults and introducing also sort of
11:39 am
a gag low against the meet any media who spread any. so of gang originated message we create on site. i a tom, i'm just looking at the, the twitter feed of el presidente. and that says, present. typically i'm using google translate. so if this doesn't quite translating you speak spanish, apologies for that. but this is what the president was saying, just a few months ago. message to the gangs, because of your actions now your home boys won't be able to see a ray of sunshine. i am wondering this impact of cracking down on the gangs having emergency message emergency laws. what has that done to the people of el salvador? are they now safer than they were a few months ago? what i would say is that violence brings more violence. and what we're seeing with this state of emergency and the way it's been implemented is that the government
11:40 am
has use these excessive laws. i would add, you know, talked about under age we have here and now laws that allow authorities to go after kids as young as 20 years old, which is an important details. but when implementing these laws, what the authorities have done is detain more than 30000 b. no, they just retained them on the streets and their houses. they took them or retry the arresting them. you know, in many cases showing and the evidence that they had to, to, you know, that is clearly not the basis of a thorough criminal investigation. so you really don't know who they're run, rounding up and research together with local group shows that they're rounding up innocent people. you're being arbitrarily detained or being subjected to short term, detentions that amount to short term enforce disappearances. because the last time they are seen it when they are taken by authorities and then you see mothers
11:41 am
sisters waiting, trying to get information about the whereabouts of their loved ones outside detention centers. and they deny the whereabouts. and then the other very, very difficult issue that we've been documenting is deaths in custody people who get to the hospital that is with fines being beaten, coming from areas where they were subject to government authorities like prison. and then they die in very delicate circumstances. so what we're seeing is an abusive implementation of the laws that the sienna was talking about. in clear violation of human rights times the dorians do i have to say, and this is something we do need to talk about that despite of what we have been saying will, can it remains tremendously popular. ah, that's interesting. as very interesting. let me, let me to town if i may. so i'm just gonna jump in just for a moment because i want to show our audience scenes of what it is like some of the
11:42 am
families outside of detention centers. so i'm gonna bring in elizabeth and ophelia, and they can tell their own story. have a listen, have a look. you know awful painful because i don't sleep and i don't eat knowing that my son is suffering. look, they are making a mess in here. they don't say anything, they don't say anything on television. they don't publish anything in the newspapers. yesterday, when i came, we saw a guy released from prison. his forehead was all beaten in most arguable. here he sleep, lying on the floor, suffering for our family. we love my husband and we want to have him in our house. we don't want him to be suffering. we suffer, and he suffers. and you can see that line of fossils just standing outside a detention safe as a waiting area. we spoke to michael paba, his assistant petite professor of political science at the virginia commonwealth university. and this is what he told us about this detention center. and then on
11:43 am
galant itsyana, come right back into the conversation. his michael locking up tens of thousands of low level and often imaginary criminals gives the illusion of law and order and is popular with the public. but effectively, all this does is it oversteps the prisons which were already at $240.00 was an assay and controlled by the gas is only strengthens the gangs at least a more gang violence. which in turn justifies that governments have you had that approach in a vicious circle of decreasing security and increasing authoritarianism. the civic national police most outdoor has improbably estimate number of people tied to gangs to be 500000. which effectively means that any young man in a solid or is subject to discriminant arrest shaneka had precisely, well, i think my micro raise their very good points. and also, i think it's very concerning to look at the increasing amount of that's in jails
11:44 am
because they're a direct product of this massive garcia ration when you double up the prison population. just imagine 2 percent of the little probably the population in somebody is helping locked up is not locked up. so one every 50 people basically. and if you mix up as you might, i was rightly mentioning people. we know membership basically home a relationship with gangs, but just the breaking into programming. take you straight to uncover. aware you can see the turkish for him is speaking, following a meeting where his russian towns pot and since the war began the humanitarian loss and destruction caused by the war is increasing and this is a source of upset. we have had
11:45 am
a principal approach since the beginning of this conflict, and this is known by everyone we have carried out strong efforts to end the disconnect and we shall continue to do so that the 2 parties had a meeting in the move on the 29th of march and there were productive results from this. however, developments were pushed back with the developments that continued thereon. body or turkey will retain its stumps on in the same line because ending the conflict will be for the benefits of the region and for humanity . as a whole, i have discussed this and shared my opinions with my counterparts mister love today . there had been get it some distance from discussions. however, that would take that me meetings which is other sky,
11:46 am
mrs. southern sky and other parties. it now seems to us that it will be possible to return to negotiations and turkey is ready to take on a role as a facilitating country. and once again, i had the opportunity to express this to mr. love today. doug and his mother, the l. and of course. so we discussed the various issues caused by the conflict beyond the safety of c vessels in the area that in one of these matters are the obstacles preventing the export of grains from ukraine and russia. in order for the grains to be sent to the worldwide market, various ideas were developed. now the united nations has a idea in this regard, which involves the monitoring of ships almost to make my bed. and
11:47 am
london, there is a possibility of creating a mechanism between the countries, including the russian federation and turkey. le, we as turkey considered his plan to the reasonable and executed will on that side. i don't know that i will, it is necessary for the russian federation and ukraine to agree to this mechanism. and we have expressed that we are prepared to host a meeting for the ukranian and russian representatives in turkey. and dicky let in called the most part every day on that a j. there is a possibility level of removing the sanctions against russia trading in the world market yesterday in return for allowing exports of sunflower
11:48 am
oil. we considered this to be reasonable, that it's jack, i mean that if you bought it didn't but the logistic on a lot, there are certain products which require insurance. they have to have to be arrangements for them to be loaded on to ships. and there are also details which have to be resolved in relation to banking. i don't know if the world needs products which the ukraine and russia is going to exports, then we need to resolve this matter next through mutual discussions and agreements on mechanism in order for the ships to continue playing in a safe manner. discussions need to take place that will make sure
11:49 am
that it is our desire for inside the necessary diner, the discussions to take place for the ships to play back and forth in safety that can get that punishment on the letter that booty as well. now that we haven't discussed circuits on only the matter of ships being allowed to move safely, other matters were also discussed. the, the russian federation is a country that we work with closely. and we have various matters in discussion in the us on a framework. yes, each of the 8th meeting was successful and it seemed as if the regime was not keen on finding you have an agreement that there is a threat to us, which we have to take some measures in relation
11:50 am
to the fact that in order to get it in relation to syria, what other orders that we underlined once again that the territorial integrity of syria had to be protected. and the terrorist organizations which have a divisive agenda have to be prevented from achieving their objectives. on the another front, we discussed the matter in libya, advocates and cut us all of us get it good. we want to achieve give you a state of keys and to be and for this everyone has to contribute to this. we don't want there to be competition between countries along not to get it. we want independence to be established and we want there to be a democratic, transparent election process. all right, john, may any, like a normal let me that we discussed the normalization period in armenia.

ministries and agencies, all countries. and of course, corporation and very high level on number of in a number of forum about commercial and investment situation is looking very good and attain something like $400000000.00 should have doubled in fact, in class and using rebels or financial account. and we have very much to will be able to use the russian me in which card to enter as specially with regard to tourism we, which has now gone from 4000000 last year to 6000000 russian tourists and turkey.

11:57 am
ex explain the match a very funny. so anybody interested can refer to that as long as we are trying to unblock the situation and to try and re up a premium and to give access to those specs for foreign vessels. but of course, and heard issues that being used as a hostage today, which we pointed to the fact that for more than a month, our naval forces providing a humanitarian corridor, or humanitarian car, it goes from ukraine to through the bus, or at least any vessels wishing to use that route
11:58 am
aren't able to either full loading and unloading. it doesn't mean euro's they much at the process where you can, you know, there it is. the reason they said that they were not willing to the mind the areas in question and in fact does it. and it reason it is said give us the equipment and we will sort out the situation. but if known as tech issue, friends, could you tell us the ukraine inside is prepared to ensure safe passage through the mine field. then i just hope that the problem will be solved for you. but we are very grateful to take colleagues discussing this initiative. one side, you go to the new wave,
