El Faro says El Salvador’s Attorney General’s Office preparing arrest warrants for its journalists
El Salvador’s Attorney General’s Office is preparing arrest warrants for at least seven journalists and staff from the digital outlet El Faro over alleged crime apology and illicit association.
A reliable source within the Salvadoran government told El Faro that the Bukele‑controlled Attorney General’s Office is preparing at least seven arrest warrants for members of the news outlet. The journalists are accused of crime apology and illicit association, charges widely seen as politically motivated. Staff members have already left the country or adjusted their movements amid fears of arrest, while the government continues to use legal and administrative pressure to target critical media. The move further intensifies concerns over reprisals against investigative journalism and the shrinking space for dissent in El Salvador.
