00:00Meanwhile, in El Salvador, social organizations denounced a strategy by the attorney general's office
00:05to overturn the sentence of six environmental activists and repeal the trial for the third time.
00:11The activists, who faced unproven charges for events that took place in 1989,
00:17have already been acquitted on two previous occasions.
00:20In this regard, several social organizations denounced that this is a case of political persecution
00:25that seeks to repress their activism in defense of the environment
00:28and their opposition to metal mining.
00:31The case has generated international concern,
00:34especially following the recent approval of the Metallic Mining Law
00:37that repealed the ban in force since 2017.
