The Buenos Aires Justice enabled the judicial fair to process, without delay, the lawsuit promoted by the Secretary of Human Rights of the Nation, Horacio Pietragalla Corti, for acts of institutional violence against people on the street in the city of Buenos Aires, reported today judicial sources.
The decision was made by Judge Andrea Danas, after having the opinion in favor of the prosecutor Marcela Monti and with the injunction so that the lawsuit, also signed by the National Director of Policies against Institutional Violence, Mariano Przybylski, was “readjusted” as an amparo action.
In the most recent resolution, the fair judge Guillermo Schreibler forwarded the file to the prosecution, so that it rules that the case initiated by national officials against the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (GCBA) must be registered as a “collective” process.
in the cause, initiated as a “collective and preventive” habeas corpus, Pietragalla Corti and Przybylski said they were acting “in favor of homeless people in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, due to the serious acts of institutional violence that have been denounced before this Secretariat.”
The complaint highlighted that they are not isolated facts but of a “modus operandi”whose recipients “they are arbitrarily stripped of their belongings without any legality, harassed and denigrated by public officials in order to make them leave the streets”.
Pietragalla Corti and Przybylski claim that “the freedom of this group of people is hereby guaranteed and the local government is ordered to stop harassing, threatening and stealing belongings from homeless people” setting guidelines for action to security forces and intervening agents.
