Sinds 2015 is de rechtse hufter Macri president van Argentinië en hij laat er geen twijfel over bestaan: alles wat naar links ruikt moet aangepakt...... Het grote arme deel van de bevolking heeft niets te verwachten van deze neoliberale hufter.
Afgelopen nacht het bericht op BBC World Service (radionieuws van 1.00 u.), dat Milagro Sala, leider van de sociale welzijnsorganisatie Tupac Amaru, terecht staat. Zij werd gearresteerd nadat zij in januari dit jaar, commentaar had geleverd op het uitkleden van sociale projecten in de provincie Jujuy, door gouverneur Gerardo Morales, een partijgenoot en vriend van Macri........
Sala werd op belachelijke gronden aangeklaagd voor 'corruptie', corruptie die juist tot volle bloei komt onder de verantwoording van de regering Macri....... Naast mensenrechtenorganisaties, heeft zelfs de VN inmiddels de vrijlating van Sala geeist, tot nu toe alles tevergeefs.........
BBC berichtte over rellen buiten het gerechtsgebouw, waar Sala terecht staat.
Hier een artikel van Reuters over deze zaak, dat gisteren werd gepubliceerd:
Tempers flare outside court over detained Argentine social leader
By
Hugh Bronstein
BUENOS
AIRES (Reuters) - Protesters and police clashed on Wednesday
outside a courthouse in northern Argentina where a social activist is
on trial for offences including corruption, while her lawyers asked
the Supreme Court to free her on human rights grounds.
Fists
flew as supporters of Milagro Sala, leader of the Tupac Amaru social
welfare group in Jujuy province, tried to push past police who used
choke holds to keep the crowd at bay.
It
was part of a series of hearings on charges ranging from intimidation
to corruption. She has denied the allegations and said she is a
victim of political persecution.
Sala's
lawyers asked the Supreme Court in Buenos Aires to free her based on
recommendations from United Nations and Organization of American
States human rights committees that said she has been arbitrarily
detained for nearly a year.
The
case, and the international attention it has gathered, has been a
headache for President Mauricio Macri as he tries to improve
Argentina's image and attract foreign investment needed to help pull
the country out of recession.
Sala,
whose organization is allied with Macri's predecessor and political
foe Cristina Fernandez, has long been accused by opponents of
skimming public housing monies that she had received in cash under
the previous Jujuy governor.
Soon
after Macri ally Gerardo Morales became governor a year ago, he
changed Jujuy's welfare distribution system to tighten controls. Sala
was protesting the change in January when she was arrested by
provincial authorities and charged with sedition.
Rights
groups branded this a violation of free speech and the sedition
charge was quickly replaced by accusations of corruption. But Sala's
allies said the switch looked like a manoeuvre aimed simply at
keeping her behind bars.
"Like
everyone else, Milagro Sala should be prosecuted if she has committed
serious crimes, but the Jujuy justice system must ensure that her
basic due process guarantees are respected," Jose Miguel
Vivanco, Americas director of Human Rights Watch, told Reuters.
Early
this month, the Inter-American Commision on Human Rights called on
Argentina to release Sala. The commission, part of the OAS, said
Argentina should "give prompt attention" to recommendations
from a U.N. body in October that called Sala's pre-trial detention
"unwarranted and arbitrary."
The
case threatens to dent Macri's authority as one of the region's chief
critics of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whom he accuses of
holding political prisoners.
Macri's
government has said the Sala case is a local one to be resolved in
Jujuy. But if the Supreme Court rules that Sala's initial detention
was unlawful, it could turn up the pressure on Macri to find a
solution.
Eduardo
Tavani, coordinator of Sala's legal committee told Reuters in a
telephone interview that "the court will have to make a ruling
on the arbitrary nature of Milagro's detention."
Leftist
activists stopped rush hour traffic on Buenos Aires' main avenue
Nueve de Julio in a protest supporting Sala late Wednesday afternoon.
Macri
fanned the controversy early this month when he said "the
majority of Argentines" believe Sala should be tried for "a
number of important crimes" but the president did not provide
evidence for his assertions.
"Macri
says Milagro is in jail because most people think she should be,"
said Hector Recalde, a congressman from Fernandez's Victory Front
party. "That's about the same as a lynching."
Fijn ook dat de Nederlandse reguliere media 'zoveel aandacht aan deze zaak besteedt........' Ach ja, Argentinië, het land van Videla en Zorreguieta, daar wil men uiteraard liever geen negatieve berichtgeving over brengen in de reguliere afhankelijke media, Maxima is immers populair en de regering wil zoveel mogelijk negatieve Argentijnse zaken uit de media houden..........
Zie ook: 'Obama biedt excuses aan voor staatsgreep in Argentinië en stelt dat het VS beleid drastisch is veranderd........ ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!'
en: 'Mexico: mensenrechten- en milieuactivist Isidro Baldenegro vermoord........'
en: 'Berta Cáceres voorvechter gelijke rechten en milieuactivist vermoord in Honduras'
en: 'Hillary Clinton mede verantwoordelijk voor moord op Berta Cáceres...........'
en: 'Hondurese activiste ontvoerd en vermoord (alweer...), met instemming van de VS.........'
