Photos from El Salvador show hundreds of jailed gang members forced together as part of tougher measures against gangs, after the country reported a surge in murders over the weekend.
The photos were posted on the Twitter account of President Nayib Bukele’s office, after he ordered a 24-hour lockdown of all prisons holding gang members. The photos show police officers in riot gear supervising rows and rows of gang members, including those from the notorious MS-13, sitting tightly packed together with hands behind their backs.
