In this broadcast of France 24's Enlace, we analyze the constitutional reform in El Salvador that reestablishes life imprisonment, a penalty that has not been in force since 1983. Promoted by President Nayib Bukele and approved by a large majority in the Assembly, the measure applies to crimes such as homicide, femicide, rape and terrorism, including gang membership. The reform has generated controversy by extending it to minors from the age of 12, with sentencing reviews only after long periods of incarceration.
