The article discusses anti-terrorism laws passed in El Salvador. The Salvadoran Congress approved the Special Law Against Acts of Terrorism, a legislation that criminalizes public protests, allows anonymous witnesses and police to participate in trials, and created a special tribunal. The author suggests members of the Salvadoran National Vendors Movement have been targeted as terrorists and Salvadoran President Elías Antonio Saca is using the law to restrict civil rights.
