A conversation with Noah Bullock of Cristosal on documenting human rights abuses, defending democratic space, and how authoritarianism is reshaping the region.

This conversation will explore what’s happening across Central America as authoritarian practices deepen, what it looks like on the ground, how it’s affecting people’s lives, and what it means for the region. Cristosal is a human rights organization working throughout Central America. We will discuss abuses at El Salvador’s CECOT prison, where Venezuelan migrants deported from the U.S. have been held; the case of imprisoned award-winning human rights defender Ruth López; and El Salvador’s four-year state of emergency rule and what that has meant for justice and due process in the country.  Noah will discuss how these dynamics are shaping migration, civic space, and democratic life, and what solidarity across borders can look like in this moment. Dr. Alexa Koenig of the Human Rights Center will introduce and moderate. RSVP HERE.
