IMPRISONED FOR EXPOSING CORRUPTION
Write for Rights 2026: El Salvador
Ruth López is a lawyer and human rights defender who spent years speaking out against corruption and injustices in El Salvador.
In May 2025, Ruth was arrested at her home and locked up. One year later, she is still in detention, without regular access to her family or lawyer. Her story is an example of the criminal legal system being used as a weapon to silence critical voices.
Ruth López is a prisoner of conscience.
