Trans Woman Murdered In El Salvador
A trans woman has been found dead in El Salvador. This is the first report of a trans person murdered this year. 22-year-old Briyit Michelle Alas had been shot three times in her torso, once behind her ear and once in her shoulder.
“We unfortunately do not have better information (about) if she went out with a client or how it happened,” Camila Portillo of Asociación ASPIDH Arcoiris Trans told the ‘Washington Blade’. “We don’t want to go into details with the family, but we are at their service for anything that they need and we put them in contact with Jessica Torres of El Salvador’s human rights ombudsman’s office because she wants to follow-up on the case.”
The case will be investigated by Asociación ASPIDH Arcoiris Trans.
“ASPIDH calls upon the National Civil Police, the attorney general, the human rights ombudsman and President Nayib Bukele to speak out about trans murders in El Salvador in order to highlight the reality the LGBTI community in El Salvador and trans women especially have to live day-to-day,” tweeted ASPIDH.
