In El Salvador a Cold Case Murder Has Become a Weapon for Silencing Environmental Activists
In 2017, El Salvador became the first country in the world to pass an outright ban on mining. It was an effort to protect the country's water, and its people. Now, self-proclaimed "coolest dictator in the world" Nayib Bukele wants to bring mining back to boost the economy, which took a major hit thanks to his embrace of Bitcoin as the national currency in 2021.

Reporter Sebastian Escalon brings us this story, narrated by Yessenia Funes.
