El Salvador's government, led by President Nayib Bukele, has passed a controversial 'Foreign Agents' law that gives authorities sweeping powers to monitor and penalize organizations with foreign ties. Critics argue the law is designed to stifle dissent, restrict the work of civil society groups, and limit press freedom.

The developments have drawn international condemnation and raised alarms about the future of democracy in El Salvador.
