UN Demands Argentina Release Indigenous Leader Milagro Sala
Published 28 October 2016


Since Argentine President Mauricio Macri supports her arrest, Sala is now dubbed the first political prisoner of the neoliberal administration.


The United Nations demanded the Argentine government of Mauricio Macri immediately release Indigenous activist Milagro Sala, who according to the organization has suffered from arbitrary detention without legal grounds following her arrest earlier in the year.

In a statement, the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention of the U.N. said there are a number of "accusations" against Sala, which could result in the Macri administration indefinitely detaining her.

The Indigenous activist and lawmaker was arrested in Jujuy on Jan. 16 after staging a month-long sit-in against Jujuy Governor Gerardo Morales, an ally of President Macri.
