Police showed up at the door of Ruth Lopez, a prominent human rights defender, late Sunday night and placed her under arrest. Lopez headed the anti-corruption unit at the Salvadoran human rights group Cristosal. Noah Bullock is the executive director of that organization, and he tells The World's Host Marco Werman that this arrest is part of a larger crackdown on dissent.
