Urgent Action for Argentina Jan24

A new Urgent Action for Argentina has just been published; it’s not yet on the AIUK website. Pierina Nochetti, a lesbian human rights activist, is facing criminal charges of “aggravated damage” for painting a graffiti in protest questioning the disappearance of a young trans man in the city of Necochea, Argentina. Her trial is scheduled for 6 March and she is facing a sentence of up to 4 years in prison.

Please call on authorities to drop the charge of “aggravated damage” against Pierina Nochetti. It appears to be an unnecessary and disproportionate restriction on the right to freedom of expression.
