The judge Maria Servini decided to release this Tuesday 11 of the 16 detainees who were still imprisoned after the repression in Congress during the treatment of the Bases law.

In turn, he issued preventive detention for those who remain detained: Patricia Calarco Arredondo, David Sica, Cristián Fernando Valiente, Roberto María de la Cruz Gómez and Facundo Ezequiel Gómez.
Those released join the 17 who had already been released in the early hours of Saturday, after their investigative statements were taken.
Despite the prosecutor’s request Carlos Stornelli, who had requested that 14 of the 17 released over the weekend be recaptured due to the “seriousness of the events investigated,” Servini decided to act in the opposite way and moved forward with the release of 11 more people. The prosecutor had argued that the analysis of cell phones and film records was still pending.
Massive mobilization calling for the release of the detainees

During the event there were no speakers and no document was read. The request and complaint were clear. It was summarized in three slogans: freedom for those detained by the Bases law, closure of all cases to fight and cessation of persecutions.
The claim was made in the face of a new large deployment of security forces that surrounded the Casa Rosada early. The presidential spokesman had suggested otherwise. “There will be nothing more than the usual operation. If you mean if there is going to be anything, in particular, clearly not, as it does not happen in any demonstration“he said in his usual press conference.
