Salvadoran prisoners collaborating with officials smashed gangster graves with hammers and metal poles in President Nayib Bukele's latest crackdown on violent gangs, this time aiming to prevent any would-be admirers from paying their respects.
Dozens of graves in La Libertad, west of the capital San Salvador, were left in ruins after being identified by prisoners as belonging to deceased gangsters, some bearing signs linked to the country's notorious Mara Salvatrucha gang, or MS-13.
