Escalating prison sentences for violent crimes

Overview

In early July, El Salvador courts began issuing prison terms for offenses such as extortion, transport‑linked sexual assaults and matricide. By early August, the pattern had broadened: a former MS‑13 collaborator received a 33‑year sentence in El Salvador, while courts in Spain, Colombia, Mexico and the Canary Islands handed down lengthy terms for murders, sexual slavery, femicide and other violent crimes. The series of rulings illustrates a wave of severe penalties for violent and sexual offenses across multiple jurisdictions.
