Given that El Salvador has the highest imprisomnent rate per capita after North Korea (and since NK is super secretive, they might have passed it by without us knowing), and various other inhumane laws, I would definitely prefer if nobody paid that government even a penny.
I would pay (if I had enough pennies) for opposition to get Nayib Bukele out of power. He’s their version of Trump, a democratically elected authoritarian.
Sadly, unlike with Duterte (from the Philippines), there is currently no international interest in getting him to a court - which he likely has already earned by now.
What’s to stop us from crowdfunding and buying them back? Bringing them home?
I’d guess it’s mainly just the lack of concern from people who can afford that, but also given that the perpetrators face no consequences whatsoever it’s kind of scary to think how this could get even worse if they found out it’s profitable.
The feeling is justified, but it they realize they can get 100K ransom for every person they kidnap, regardless of that person criminal background, how long until they start sending people just for that?
Guantanamo was/is a stain, but this somehow it’s even worse
It’s a slave prison right? What’s to stop us from crowdfunding and buying them back? Bringing them home?
It’s a concentration camp. And yes, you can probably pay for people to get out of there.
