President Alberto Fernández has sparked outrage among the opposition after visiting jailed Túpac Amaru leader Milagro Sala in hospital and calling on the Judiciary to revise her case.
Reacting to the state of Sala’s health, Fernández travelled on Wednesday to Jujuy to see her and show her, in his own words, that "the rule of law makes itself present."
"My concern for Milagro Sala is not new," said the Frente de Todos leader in statements to local media, as he declared that the social leader is a victim of "political persecution."
Deploying clear criticism of the Supreme Court, provincial justice and Jujuy Governor Gerardo Morales, the president affirmed: "Remanding in custody for prolonged periods and before guilt has been established are ways of violating human rights."
