Migrants tortured in El Salvador

Cape Argus

July 23, 2025

VENEZUELA announced a probe this week into torture claims by 252 migrants the US had sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison where they said they were beaten, sexually abused and fed rotten food.

Attorney General Tarek William Saab presented photos and testimonies at a news conference in Caracas of some of the men, who said they had feared not making it out alive.

Several had bruises on their bodies, marks of being shot with rubber bullets, and one had a split lip.

Andry Hernandez Romero, a 32-year-old beautician among those sent to the notorious CECOT prison as part of US President Donald Trump's migrant crackdown, said he barely survived the ordeal.
