Overview
- Human-rights organizations, artists and allied politicians held a March 3 press conference at a Chamber of Deputies annex urging Tribunal Oral Federal No. 2 to relax Cristina Kirchner’s detention regime.
- Organizers said they will submit a written petition asking the court to review the measures imposed after her Vialidad conviction and to restore what they call equal treatment.
- The TOF2 order limits visits to three people for up to two hours, three times per week, requires prior judicial authorization for each visitor, and keeps electronic monitoring and other caps in place.
- Speakers argued the restrictions are tougher than those applied to convicted human-rights violators on home confinement, citing examples they say face no comparable limits.
- The judiciary has not changed the conditions, and earlier defense requests to remove the ankle monitor and lift visit and terrace restrictions remain pending.
