En la misma operaci\u00f3n se detuvo tambi\u00e9n a m\u00e1s de 20 dirigentes comunitarios.<\/p><p>Tras el arresto de Zavala se iniciaron varios procesos penales contra \u00e9l en 2025. En los procesos por estafa agravada, los tribunales ordenaron el archivo definitivo, declararon extinguida la acci\u00f3n penal tras alcanzarse un acuerdo de conciliaci\u00f3n o desestimaron la responsabilidad de Zavala. En ninguna de las causas ha sido declarado culpable.<\/p><p>En la acci\u00f3n jur\u00eddica relacionada con La Floresta, se enfrenta a cargos de asociaci\u00f3n il\u00edcita, comercializaci\u00f3n ilegal de tierras y pr\u00e1ctica ilegal de una profesi\u00f3n. El 13 de marzo de 2025, el Tribunal Quinto contra el Crimen Organizado orden\u00f3 su detenci\u00f3n preventiva durante seis meses. Posteriormente, el plazo de instrucci\u00f3n se ampli\u00f3 hasta marzo de 2026. Seg\u00fan la informaci\u00f3n disponible, la Fiscal\u00eda General no ha aportado a los procedimientos prueba anticipada autorizada por el tribunal. \u00c9sta es la \u00fanica orden de detenci\u00f3n vigente contra \u00e9l actualmente.<\/p><p>Se ha expresado preocupaci\u00f3n por las inadecuadas condiciones de detenci\u00f3n en los calabozos del Centro Judicial Isidro Men\u00e9ndez, incluida la falta de acceso a agua durante varios d\u00edas. Seg\u00fan los informes recibidos, su familia se habr\u00eda ocupado de cubrir sus necesidades b\u00e1sicas. <\/p><p>En el mismo contexto se dictaron \u00f3rdenes de detenci\u00f3n contra los abogados de UNIDEHC Ivania Cruz y Rudy Joya. En 2025, INTERPOL emiti\u00f3 notificaciones rojas contra ellos, pero posteriormente fueron revocadas porque vulneraban el art\u00edculo 3 del Estatuto de la INTERPOL, que proh\u00edbe las intervenciones de motivaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica. Pese a ello se iniciaron procedimientos de extradici\u00f3n en Espa\u00f1a. Varios procedimientos especiales de la ONU han expresado preocupaci\u00f3n por que dichas acciones pueden constituir represi\u00f3n transnacional. <\/p><p>El 15 de mayo de 2025, los procedimientos especiales de la ONU enviaron una comunicaci\u00f3n oficial al Estado de El Salvador (Ref. AL SLV 2\/2025) en la que expresaron preocupaci\u00f3n por la presunta detenci\u00f3n arbitraria y la posible criminalizaci\u00f3n como represalia por su trabajo de derechos humanos. La comunicaci\u00f3n cuenta, entre otras, con la firma de la relatora especial sobre la situaci\u00f3n de los defensores de derechos humanos Mary Lawlor. El gobierno salvadore\u00f1o no ofreci\u00f3 respuesta dentro del plazo de 60 d\u00edas, por lo que la carta se hizo p\u00fablica.<\/p><p>El Caso de Fidel Zavala se enmarca en el contexto del estado de excepci\u00f3n vigente en El Salvador desde marzo de 2022, durante el cual varias organizaciones nacionales e internacionales han documentado patrones de detenci\u00f3n arbitraria y restricciones del espacio de la sociedad civil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4de2ae1 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con\" data-id=\"4de2ae1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f33edd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f33edd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor -
