On 8 June 2022 The Guardian reported: At least 38,000 people have been arrested under Nayib Bukele's draconic state of exemption. Only a few weeks ago, Sandra Garcia was looking forward to the brighter future Nayib Bukele promised El Salvador's opportunity-starved youth when he swept to power three years ago. 'I gave him my vote believing we'd have a better life,' said the 23-year-old, one of hundreds of thousands of young Salvadorans who chose the authoritarian-minded millennial as their president. Those dreams imploded when the man she planned to marry, Juan Jose Ibanez Garcaa, was seized during of one of the most ferocious security crackdowns in recent Latin American history. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern government and world peace systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.

Two days later Ibanez -- who friends and family say worked in a local pizzeria and had no links to crime -- was moved to a maximum-security penitentiary housing many of the 38,000-plus people the government claims to have imprisoned since the offensive began in late March. A fortnight later the 21-year-old was dead -- one of at least 35 prisoners who have reportedly died in mysterious circumstances since Bukele declared a draconian state of exception supposedly designed to annihilate his country's gangs.

... Further up the street sat a woman in even greater distress. Mari Hernandez said her partner, Saul Gomez, had worked at a sugar-grinding plant until police arrested him at their home in late April.

'They said it was an order from the president that people should be brought in whether or not they were criminals ... and that if they didn't detain him they'd be arrested themselves for not following the law,' claimed the pregnant 24-year-old.
