It applies to all who wish to seek, receive or impart information and ideas of all kinds, and includes the right to protest peacefully. The freedom of expression applies not only to information or ideas that are favourably received, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb. Now more than ever it is essential to extradite gang leaders to face justice in the United States.Promoting free speech and supporting wellbeing We urge El Salvador to address this threat while also protecting vital civil liberties, including freedom of the press, due process, and freedom of speech. Gangs pose a threat to the national security of El Salvador and the United States. We are deeply concerned by the spike in violence and homicides committed by the MS-13 and the Barrio 18 gangs in El Salvador on March 25, 26, and 27. Examples include the construction of a state-of-the-art forensics lab in Nuevo Cuscatlan, and assistance to reclaim and renovate public spaces such as Parque Cuscatlan. Since 2008, we have invested $411 million to improve citizen security and help the Salvadoran government combat gang violence. We continue to support El Salvador in its efforts to reduce the proliferation of gangs. Journalists must have the freedom to do their jobs without fear of violence, threats, or unjust detention. The law lends itself to attempts to censor the media, prevent reporting on corruption and other matters of public interest, and silence critics of the Salvadoran government. The United States government is concerned about violence in El Salvador and the passage and implementation of the April 5 Criminal Code amendment by the Legislative Assembly criminalizing reporting on certain gang activities.
