MORE THAN 60 CHILDREN DETAINED, BEATEN, TORTURED IN EL SALVADOR, HRW SAYS

SAN SALVADOR, July 16 (Reuters) - More than 60 children in El Salvador have been
arbitrarily detained, tortured and beaten since the government declared a state
of emergency over two years ago to combat gangs, a report by the Human Rights
Watch said on Tuesday.
Police and soldiers have detained 3,319 children and teenagers from March 2022
to April this year - the time from when the state of emergency was introduced
and suspended certain civil rights to the start of mass trials, according to the
New York-based rights group.

"Many children who have been arrested and detained had no apparent connection to
gangs' abusive activity," the report said. "In detention, authorities subjected
children to severe ill-treatment that in some cases amounted to torture."
The Salvadoran government did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for
comment, but has previously said torture does not take place in its prisons.
The report, compiled from more than 90 interviews, said jailed children had been
deprived of adequate food, healthcare and contact with their families, and "in
many cases" coerced into making false confessions.

"Authorities have taken few, if any, steps to protect the children from violence
by other detainees, including beatings and sexual assault," HRW said.
The group documented 66 cases of minors subjected to arbitrary detention,
torture and police harassment, warning that arrests appeared to be based on
physical appearance and socioeconomic conditions rather than credible evidence.
It also found over 1,000 minors have been sentenced to terms of up to 12 years
for broadly-defined crimes in trials with dubious evidence and lack of due
process.

Over 80,500 people have been arrested under the state of emergency, which has
managed to drastically reduce the number of homicides making the small Central
American country one of the safest in the Americas, and earning President Nayib
Bukele strong popular support.
Last week, local rights group Cristosal said at least 265 people have died in
state custody, including four babies.
