El Salvador's parliament has approved a law that establishes a perpetual sentence for minors under 18 who are convicted of serious crimes such as murder, rape, and terrorism. The law also includes provisions for periodic reviews to determine when the minors can receive 'controlled freedom'.

La medida se aplicará para menores de 18 años “homicidas, violadores y terroristas”; contempla revisiones periódicas para recibir “libertad controlada”
