Kilmar Ábrego García alleges torture and abuse in El Salvador prison
Kilmar Ábrego García, a prisoner in El Salvador, has come forward with allegations of torture and abuse while in detention. According to García, the incidents took place in the Izalco prison located in Sonsonate, El Salvador. The prisoner claims that he was subjected to physical and psychological torture by prison guards, resulting in severe trauma.
García’s lawyer has released a statement indicating that his client’s allegations are supported by medical reports documenting injuries consistent with torture. The lawyer is calling for a thorough investigation into the matter to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
On the other hand, prison authorities have denied the accusations of torture and abuse. They argue that they adhere to strict protocols regarding the treatment of prisoners and that García’s claims are unsubstantiated.

The situation remains tense as authorities and García’s representatives stand by their contradictory claims, awaiting further developments in the case.
