Detengan la represíon en Argentina
Summary
Friends of the Earth International denounces the use of the "Protocolo Antiprotestas" by the Argentine government to repress manifestations on June 12, resulting in over 600 injuries and 35 arbitrary detentions. The statement links this violence to a broader pattern of regressive laws, increased poverty, and the criminalization of protest under the administration of Javier Milei.
Key insights
- A protest on June 12 resulted in more than 600 people injured and 35 arbitrary detentions, with five individuals remaining in maximum-security federal prisons. Detainees report abuses including beatings, forced nudity, and the use of pepper spray, and face charges of terrorism and attempted coup d'état.
- The Argentine government has implemented the "Protocolo Antiprotestas," utilizing armed forces, water cannons, rubber bullets, and pepper spray against protesters. This is framed as part of a wider political shift involving the criminalization of protest and the deregulation of extractive multinationals.
- The current administration has overseen a significant increase in economic hardship, with poverty rates rising to 55.5% and indigence reaching 17.5% of the population.
