Argentine political prisoner Milagro Sala reports mistreatment, her fellow activists tortured

2. Jujuy Province has always been Argentina's "Mississippi" as far as civil rights and haughty elites

It's a mountainous, dry place - as opposed to a flat, humid place like Mississippi - and the victims are Indigenous rather than Black; but other than that they're not that different.

As for the 43 dead Gendarmerie officers, you guessed it: neither Macri nor Morales have never been held accountable for either in the courts or in the media (big media, anyway).

The officers' widows and survivors should have sued, sure; but they've no doubt been intimidated into silence or simply paid off. I can't blame them.

Thanks as always for your research, insights, and passion, Judi. We'll see where the UN Working Group and the IACHR goes with this.
