"These people who are being detained, these terrorists (...), are going to be held in a more severe regime. Anyone who is proven to be a gang member, who is part of these terrorists, should not hesitate for a single moment, these people will not be released from prison again", said Luna in declarations to Cadena Megavisión.
The Salvadoran Vice Minister of Justice assured that in countries like the United States or Spain, terrorists are not given the opportunity to reintegrate into society, but rather "they are put in the gas chamber and given a death sentence".
Likewise, Luna affirmed that the country's project promoted by the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, "is comprehensive", since "nobody wants to break the law".
However, he assured that the deaths of prisoners in Salvadoran jails reported by some human rights organizations are due to their refusal to receive medical treatment or because they have previous health problems.
Luna said that the growing number of deaths among inmates is due to the fact that El Salvador's prisons receive people who "have up to four morbidities and arrive with a series of very complicated illnesses", in addition to the fact that there are people who do not want to undergo medical tests, as he said in the interview with Cadena Megavisión.
"Up to this moment, no death has been verified for any other reason than the health issue, and I can guarantee that. We are within the corresponding instances carrying out the clinical analyses (...), despite the fact that it is an extremely large population", Luna assured.
However, Luna's statements are contrary to what has been reported by human rights organizations and family members who have denounced the deaths of up to 73 people in the country's prisons who were detained under the legal framework of the emergency regime implemented to combat gangs.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) or the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) have expressed their concern about the imposition of the state of exception in El Salvador, to which Bukele has responded that these organizations "defend the gang members". Meanwhile, the United Nations has also expressed concern over the wave of homicides in the Central American country.
Following a historic spike in homicides in March, Bukele asked Congress to authorize a state of emergency, which suspends some constitutional rights, to launch an offensive against the gangs that plague the Central American country.
During this period, the Salvadoran government is empowered to suspend certain freedoms and guarantees to facilitate the deployment of military and police in the streets and municipalities where these homicides occurred.
