El Salvador woman freed after abortion conviction

18 January 2024

By Leonardo Rocha
Americas Regional Editor

A Salvadoran woman has been freed from prison more than seven years after she was convicted for having an abortion.

The 28-year-old, identified only as Lilian, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2015.

She gave birth to a girl in a public hospital in 2015, but the baby suffered health complications and died there three days later.

There is a total ban on abortion in El Salvador, which has one of the world's strictest anti-abortion laws.

Prosecutors had accused Lilian of not taking care of the foetus during her pregnancy, and she was charged with negligence and aggravated murder.

She should move to Europe. Going to the US doesn't look so safe any longer!

Thank you for this article.

(Look at the disgusting lunatic they elected as El Salvador's President while she was in prison. )
