El Salvador mass trial has commenced for 486 individuals suspected of being affiliated with the MS-13 gang, according to the attorney general's office in the country. Recent footage from the attorney general's office shows numerous men in prison participating in the trial through video links. These accused gang members face allegations of over 47,000 offenses—including murder, extortion, and trafficking in drugs and arms—spanning from 2012 to 2022. However, experts from the United Nations express concern that such mass trials can jeopardize the rights to a proper defense and the presumption of innocence for those detained. The attorney general's office maintains it possesses "compelling" evidence to support imposing strict penalties on those convicted. Mimi Swaby of the BBC discusses the reasons behind El Salvador's approach to this mass trial and the subsequent scrutiny it has drawn from human rights organizations.
