Human Rights Watch has criticized El Salvador's use of mass trials, labeling the judicial proceedings as a "burla de la justicia" (mockery of justice). According to the organization's assessment announced in San Salvador on October 7, these trials violate fundamental due process rights.
During these mass proceedings, numerous individuals have been convicted of illegal association. Human Rights Watch characterizes this specific charge as a vaguely defined offense that relies heavily on weak evidence and flawed judicial procedures.
