El Salvador holds mass trial for 486 alleged members of notorious MS-13 gang
On April 22, 2026, a Salvadoran court began a mass trial of 486 alleged MS-13 gang members, part of President Nayib Bukele’s controversial gang crackdown under repeatedly extended emergency powers that have led to over 91,500 detentions. Prosecutors cite over 47,000 crimes committed between 2012 and 2022—including homicide, femicide, and extortion—and seek maximum sentences (up to 245 years for some defendants), while human rights groups like the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights warn the collective trials violate due process, such as restricting access to legal counsel.
