Venezuela launched an investigation into alleged human rights abuses suffered by over 250 Venezuelan migrants deported from the US and held in El Salvador's CECOT prison. Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab claims the migrants endured systemic torture, including sexual abuse and beatings. He presented testimonies and images of injuries, though these haven't been independently verified. Saab called for international bodies to investigate El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and other officials. El Salvador has yet to respond to the allegations.
