At least 153 people who were arrested since El Salvador instituted emergency powers have died in state custody, according to a report by a human rights group.
The special powers were introduced in March 2022 to battle powerful street gangs based in El Salvador in the President Nayib Bukele's 'war on gangs'.
None of those who died, which included four women with the rest being men, had been convicted of a crime they were accused of at the time of their arrest, according to the report by Central American human rights group
