El Salvador's Anti-Gang Crackdown: One Year Later.

El Salvador has completed a year under anti-gang emergency measures that were initially supposed to last only a month. The measures have been renewed every month since then, suspending some rights. The emergency decree has reduced violence and proved popular in a country where street gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18 have long killed and extorted money from residents. However, rights groups say there have been 111 deaths in custody and 5,802 suspected cases of rights violations.
