“We look forward to fulfilling your promise in Argentina and the world to human rights organizations and Milagro to be published before January 16, 2023″, the text concludes.

“Deepening Persecution”

For its part, weeks ago, the Center for Law and Social Studies (CELS) warned Milagro stressed that the “problems against Salah run deep” and that the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the conviction against him “does not alter the state’s duty to protect the physical and mental health of the community leader”.

Argentina Northwest (ANDHES), together with human rights lawyers, denounced before the Inter-American Organization the systematic persecution of Governor Gerardo Morales against Sala and Tupac Amaru neighbors. It was spelled out Before the demands of radical Caudillo’s judicial operators, Tupac’s leader is sent back to a common prison.

The new attack on Salah comes after a court ruling on January 16 that will see him jailed for seven years. CELS filed an amicus curiae warning of irregularities in the process, but could not get the Supreme Court to examine it. Among other points, he pointed out the obstacles to maintaining an adequate defense, the constitutional problems derived from an imprecise charge based on the statistic of “unlawful union,” and he highlighted the limitations Samper experienced. He was kept away from the debate for more than two months, during which 19 hearings and 70 witnesses testified.
