    international outrage, and ultimately this pressure forced the Salvadoran
    government to temporarily release the detainees. Nevertheless, protestors
    continue to be charged under the &#8220;anti-terrorism&#8221; law and could
    face up to 60 years in prison. This draconian law that criminalizes
