Roberto Carlos Hernández Castillo

Roberto Carlos Hernández Castillo is a young man who was recently detained by the National Civil Police of El Salvador on charges of usurpation of property, a case that has raised concerns of arbitrary detention and human rights violations. He is the son of community leader Luis Alonso Hernández and a spokesperson for the Unidad de Defensa de Derechos Humanos y Comunitarios (UNIDEHC). His arrest is seen as part of a broader legal struggle involving hundreds of families in the CIDECO community, who allege they were defrauded in a housing project initiated after the 2001 earthquakes. His detention has sparked outrage among community members and human rights advocates.
