This news of her likely disappearance is exactly the kind of abuse she warned about. The Bukele regime must release her NOW.

Ruth is likely the victim of short-term enforced disappearance.
As of now, neither her family nor her legal team has been able to confirm her whereabouts or the detention center where she is being held.
