Team-
Twelve Salvadoran women were arrested and are still sitting in jail
for having obstetric emergencies. This is a blatant human rights
violation.
These women suffered the physical and emotional pain of an obstetric
emergency. But instead of receiving the care and support they needed,
they were jailed-one along with her three-year old son. Can you
imagine?
In July 2020, El Salvador's Supreme Court concluded that the detention
of these women should be reviewed in light of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. Yet they are still being held in overcrowded prisons through
this global health crisis, putting their lives at risk.
The Center for Reproductive Rights participated in an open hearing
last week at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf
of these 12 women, and we will keep fighting until they are released.

These women should never have been in prison to begin with. Making
matters worse, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and aggravated severe
structural deficiencies in the Salvadoran prison system, including
overcrowding and lack of potable water and health services. Keeping
these women behind bars in these conditions leaves them vulnerable to
disease and places their health at risk.
Despite the July ruling requiring a review of their cases, there has
been little movement. As pandemic rages on, El Salvador must
immediately release these women arbitrarily detained for crimes they
did not commit.
We will stop at nothing to secure their freedom.
