Alejandra Jannette Cañas

Alejandra Jannette Cañas is a community leader in El Salvador who has been actively involved in advocating for the rights of displaced families. Recently, she was detained during a controversial eviction of over 150 families from Hacienda La Floresta, where residents had lived for years without legal ownership. Her arrest, alongside fellow community leader Medardo Arnoldo Rodríguez, has drawn attention to the alleged abuses by state authorities, including the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) and the Policía Nacional Civil (PNC), who are accused of facilitating the eviction without proper legal process.
