San Salvador, August 5 (RHC)-- In El Salvador, a judge sentenced three police officers to 20 years each for the 2019 killing of 29-year-old Camila Díaz Córdova, a transgender woman. 

Prosecutors say the officers brutally assaulted her, then threw her out of a moving vehicle.  Díaz Córdova had been deported from the U.S. a year before she was killed.  The case marks the first homicide conviction for the killing of a transgender person in El Salvador.
