That 60 Minutes piece about CECOT
-
A 60 Minutes episode investigating a brutal prison in El Salvador, which CBS News’ editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, pulled from the air on Sunday, appeared online on Monday after appearing on a Canadian TV app.
The segment, which runs for nearly 14 minutes and was viewed by the Guardian, provides an in-depth look at the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (Cecot) prison in El Salvador. It opens with footage of the mega-prison and shows detainees being shackled upon arrival in El Salvador.
The episode was published on a streaming platform owned by Global TV, the network that has the rights to 60 Minutes in Canada.
