It seems kinda obvious why a human rights organization isn't signing up for your "but is it really so bad if we ignore the human rights of people we say are criminals? What's a little torture if its criminals?" line, but instead calls out human rights violations.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoI'm saying that where they lost me, is that they carefully consider the human rights of the criminal, but completely ignore the human rights of the innocent, including the right to live without being murdered. They had literally no idea on how to solve the problem outside of crackdowns. El Salvador had already tried rehabilitation for two decades in various forms, and had even sent MS-13 $25 million as part of a deal in 2014 in the hopes they would stop killing people; but they still denounced the crackdown. What else was El Salvador to do? Just continue multiple failed rehabilitation strategies and let criminals kill people openly in the streets because "human rights" requires it?
