Overview
- Judge Daniel Rafecas elevated the case to an oral and public trial on charges of instigation to violence and discriminatory acts under Argentina’s anti‑discrimination law.
- Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi was assigned to conduct the single‑judge trial and will set the hearing date.
- The case centers on eight posts from November 2023 to January 2024 that compared the State of Israel and Zionism to Nazism and referenced UNRWA in language the court deemed dehumanizing.
- The processing was previously upheld by Sala I of the Federal Chamber and by the Cassation Court after a complaint from prosecutor Carlos Stornelli and a briefing by prosecutor Eduardo Taiano using international antisemitism standards.
- Rafecas cited X’s mass reach and recent antisemitic attacks as heightening risk, while Biasi maintains her statements reflect anti‑Zionist political speech and claims her expression was wrongly curtailed.
