💨 Abstract

The U.S. Department of State's 2024 report criticizes Brazil for worsened human rights conditions, citing restrictions on free speech, particularly affecting supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. It also applauds El Salvador and Ecuador for their security measures, although critics argue these measures have led to potential abuses. The report follows political tensions and faces rebuttals from the involved governments and activists. CNN awaits official comments from Brazil and Ecuador.
