i was iwas in i was in so —— in el salvador. it is one of the most dangerous places in the world for women. there have been tameside is involving women. a funeral is taking place as we speak. i'm going to speak to a local journalist covers this stuff week in week out. she is taking along without to see what happened. can you explain why we are going right now? —— there are femicides. she has been covering cases like

this years. again again she covers the terrible treatment of women in el salvador. it isjust the terrible treatment of women in el salvador. it is just so depressing. this woman was supposedly tell by her boyfriend. she was strangled and left in the street. and then two hours ago, there was another femicide, a woman killed by her husband. a relative of the woman who was killed will be so to talk. why do you think she was killed? troubles. just like an argument? couple troubles. was she excited to have the baby? she was happy? yes, baby shower. this saturday. there is another area well el salvador‘s driven of women is particularly harsh. —— treatment of

women. man? yes. we need the support of mens. they have the real power here in this country. and that would help us. in this country. and that would help us. abortion in all forms is bad in el salvador, including cases of incest, rape, and where a woman's life is at risk. since 1988, over 600 women have been imprisoned under these laws. some have served sentences of up to a0 years for aggravated murder. shockingly, many cases relate to women who have had miscarriages. there is one case in particular, involving a case called

evelyn hernandez. she comes from a poor ruralfamily. evelyn hernandez. she comes from a poor rural family. at the age of 19, she was sentenced to 30 years in jail. the prosecution accused of homicide. but the defence say she had a miscarriage. i arranged to meet her mother to find out more. and what happened? how did she end up and what happened? how did she end up in the hands the police? evelyn hernandez‘s through was hard to believe. how could a woman who

a p pa re ntly to believe. how could a woman who apparently had a miscarriage be sentenced to 30 years in prison? i was to know more about the case, so i went to meet evelyn hernandez‘s lawyer, denis munoz. he is one of the few lawyers who was willing to work on these cases. he has been derogatively labelled the pro—abortion lawyer. evelyn hernandez is an example of

that? eat salad you are saying that any woman who has a mystery is at risk of being sentenced to 30 years -- it —— it sounds like you are saying. regardless of your views on abortion, the cases that denis munoz represents, the largest number of them are not abortions, but stillbirths or miscarriages. you would be hard pressed to find a woman “— would be hard pressed to find a woman —— anyone who believes that a woman —— anyone who believes that a woman should spend 30 years in jail for that. hello, how are you doing. most

immediate. he is one of the most hardline anti— abortionists in the country. our constitution says that we recognise the human being from the moment of conception. so i don't see the difference between killing a kid and killing a baby inside the womb of its mother. so evelyn hernandez, she was sentenced yes, homicide. her wasn't homicide? yes, homicide. her mother did not know she was pregnant, and she had a stillbirth. she killed the baby. 0ne pregnant, and she had a stillbirth. she killed the baby. one case was with mechanical strangulation. 0ne was using a stone to break the ba by‘s was using a stone to break the baby's skull. ijust need to clarify something. ifound baby's skull. ijust need to clarify something. i found no baby's skull. ijust need to clarify something. ifound no evidence baby's skull. ijust need to clarify something. i found no evidence that this is true. it does not seem to be anything in evelyn hernandez‘s case that indicate injury. she did not know that she was pregnant? for

real? that is the argument? have i a have been - where but there have been cases where women have not known. yes, there are cases. the readme file. the psychiatrist who have the file told me they are lying. and they are lying trying to use and change the reality. the majorfelony here lying trying to use and change the reality. the major felony here for killing... aggravated homicide, it is 50 years. if your daughter, when she is older, and has a baby, and there are competitions in which helped us negatively affected, do you think that she should deal down on abortion? no. so she could potentially die, and the baby might not survive? they could both die. so both lies were die, it is a double homicide? and it is not a double homicide. there has to be a culprit. if society not the culprit if they

are not allowing the abortion? we should be punished as a society, maybe, but on the side of abortion, i think it should be changed to be harsher. that is my point of view. ricardo is at the extreme end of the abortion debate in this country. as of yet, there have been no changes. evelyn hernandez‘s case partly hinged on the prosecution's argument that she avoided antenatal care. they said this was tantamount to killing the child. but evelyn hernandez said she did not even know she was pregnant. i wanted to talk toa she was pregnant. i wanted to talk to a doctor about this to see what their opinion was on evelyn's situation. it was not easy. finally, i found situation. it was not easy. finally, ifound one situation. it was not easy. finally, i found one who would talk. but this was no ordinary doctor. he was one of the very few willing to carry out abortions in el salvador, risking 12 yea rs abortions in el salvador, risking 12 years injail. just abortions in el salvador, risking 12 years in jail. just moments abortions in el salvador, risking 12 years injail. just moments before our arrival, the doctor had

performed on abortion, and the figures was lying on the table in front of me. i don't have the describers. that is the heart. the legs. i don't know what to say. that is the most horrible thing i have seen. in a case like evelyn, where her defenders say she had a stillbirth or a miscarriage in those types of cases, what think has happened? how many women are you seeing each week? what are your views? is this like

you? —— is this life to you? a lot of people would feel that you're a monster to doing this. what would you say to them? —— for doing. do you say to them? —— for doing. do you know the reason that she was getting an abortion? it is really difficult to describe when you see the arms and legs and crushed head out on the table. it looks at the

human being. you can understand why people think this is life. but you can also understand the need to help people who are at risk. for the past two years el salvador has rated as one of the worst countries for women in latin america. it was thought evelyn herself was in force for relationship with a gang member which made things a lot more complicated. el salvador‘s problem with the gangs is out of control. thousands of young menjoining is out of control. thousands of young men joining their is out of control. thousands of young menjoining their ranks. they have become infamous for their terrible treatment of women. if evelyn was raped by a gang member it

may explain why no one knew of her pregnancy, and why she may have had difficulty recognising signs of it. we found a gang member willing to talk to me. have you ever killed a woman? what happens if the girl gets pregnant, if you are going out with a girland you pregnant, if you are going out with a girl and you want the baby or you do want the baby, what do you do?

it sounds like you might actually be a psychopath. at this point, ijust at this point, i just wanted at this point, ijust wanted to speak to evelyn myself to see what life had been like for the past 18 months and hear her account of what happened. finally, igot months and hear her account of what happened. finally, i got my chance. the prison said she would let me in. i spoke to mark —— her lawyer again. tell me a bit about the prison she is in now. in whose interest is it to send a

teenage goal of 30 years is she has nice to meet you. thank you for your time. how has your time being in prison? there were some reports that a member of the gang might have had something to do with the pregnancy. is that true or not? the case was concluded that you had

killed your child's. what actually happened in your eyes? what you think of the abortion laws in this country? how many other people here are in situations like yours? this is a depressing story. on the

defensive side, a teenager who had a miscarriage after being raped. 0n the prosecution aside, she made the child her own. the lawyers said she would get out but they will be a supreme court appeal. in the meantime, she will stay where she is with 28 years left of her sentence. hello. some parts of england had a washout of a good friday, some areas in western scotland were bathed in sunshine. those weather differences will continue as we go through the rest of this weekend. there will be some rain around at times, snow, particularly easter monday as we will see in a moment. it is disappointingly cool but there are drier, sunny areas too. they will come in the day ahead, the further you are away from this area of low pressure.

this brought some very wet weather for some of us during good friday but you are further away still in northern and western scotland and northern ireland. so you will fare quite well, but for eastern scotland into england and wales, you will get plenty of cloud but there will still be some outbreaks of rain, some sleet and snow into the higher hills. but it is not as heavy, not as wet as it was during good friday, more of this will peter out later in the day. there will be some brightness developing in the south—west of england, western fringes of wales, to the west of the pennines, but especially into northern ireland, north and west scotland. nowhere is particularly warm and actually it is quite cold into north—east england, with a brisk breeze. a lot of that patchy wet weather will fade away during the night, into sunday morning. clearing skies into northern and western parts of britain will allow temperatures to dip away into a touch of frost, there will be fog patches into sunday. but it is a better day on sunday, that is if you've been wet, in between weather systems,

it is the most widely dry day of this easter weekend. there will be a good deal of cloud around, one or two showers to be had here and there, and some drizzle. but many places will be dry, a few breaks in the cloud here and there, maybe some developing through eastern parts of england. but expect a good deal of cloud. and rain coming back to south—west england and southwest wales later in the day, we have seen a lot of rain here, so watch out for potential problems from that. and from the rain and snow pushing northwards into easter monday, because the moisture is feeding into cold air, sofa parts of wales and the midlands northwards, some sleet and snow mainly on hills, but also possible and lower levels. the far north of scotland staying dry during daylight hours and in the south we brighten up a bit after some heavy showers. but it is that possibility of snow, and it's a busy travel day on easter monday which we are watching closely. if you have travel plans keep across the forecast because there is a risk of some disruption and we will keep you updated.
