El Salvador Defies CIDH, Refuses to Review Detention of Activist Ruth López

El Salvador continues to hold lawyer and activist Ruth López in provisional detention without a second hearing, ignoring a CIDH request from a year ago to review her case. The NGO Cristosal denounces the state's refusal, highlighting a pattern of non-compliance with international human rights bodies. This underscores ongoing tensions between the Salvadoran government and regional human rights institutions.
