Milady Marín
Milady Marín is a Colombian woman who was recently released from a Salvadoran prison after nearly two years of detention on charges related to illegal money lending known as 'gota a gota'. Following a judicial process that required her to accept the charges, she and others were deported back to Colombia. Marín recounted the experience of lending small amounts of money with high-interest rates and noted the absence of violent collection methods, despite the accusations against her group. After her release, she had to arrange for her travel costs to return to Colombia, and she faces a five-year prohibition from returning to El Salvador.
