El Salvador's supreme court has freed three women jailed for 30 years after being accused of aborting their babies. The women say they suffered miscarriages but were convicted of aggravated homicide.
According to Amnesty International, El Salvador is "one of the most dangerous countries to be a woman".
Last month, 20-year-old Evelyn BeatrÃz Hernández Cruz was released from prison after the court ordered a retrial. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison after giving birth to a still-born baby in a toilet.
