#1 'We confiscated everything, even their sleeping mats, we also rationed their food and now they will no longer see the sun,' Bukele said.

The president's decision was slammed by the former executive secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), Paulo Abrao.

'Criminal populism: illegalities to confront illegalities. Barbarities to confront barbarities,' he wrote on Twitter.

Bukele immediately responded: 'You at the OAS (Organization of American States) and the IACHR were the ones who sponsored the truce that only strengthened the gangs and allowed them to accumulate resources, money, weaponry.'
