Venezuela Probes El Salvador Over Migrant Detainee Abuse

Venezuela's attorney general, Tarek Saab, has launched an investigation into El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and two other top officials over alleged human rights abuses against more than 250 Venezuelans detained in El Salvador's Cecot prison. The detainees were deported from the US under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act during the Trump administration, accused of gang ties, and reportedly suffered torture, sexual assault, denial of medical care, and inadequate food and water. Video testimonies at a press conference showed visible injuries and described mistreatment. Human rights groups have criticized the deportations and questioned the validity of the gang affiliation accusations. Some of the repatriated Venezuelans have reunited with their families but have not fully returned to normal life. El Salvador's government has not responded to the allegations, and independent verification of the abuse claims is pending.
