Overview

  • The bail of 30 million pesos includes weekly court check-ins and removal of electronic monitoring upon payment of the sum.
  • Judges Alberto Lugones and Néstor Barral faulted Judge Arroyo Salgado for basing detention orders on conjecture rather than concrete evidence.
  • Although four fellow defendants have been freed under bail or house arrest, Eva Mieri remains incarcerated at Ezeiza pending her appeals court review.
  • Family members report that detainees were filmed repeatedly, forced to remove their hoods and paraded in handcuffs during their arrests.
  • National deputies, social movements and human rights groups have held daily demonstrations at Ezeiza prison to denounce what they describe as political persecution.
