Abuses of police power

Buenos Aires provincial police, the notorious Bonaerense, are once again under scrutiny, for their treatment of Gabriel Roser, a political activist. Critics claim that Mr Roser was singled out for mistreatment by the police because of his politics. Even though he had no criminal record, he featured in a book of police mugshots, from which he was identified by prosecution witnesses in an armed robbery case.

In early December he was released from prison, where he had spent almost 20 months despite bearing little resemblance to the initial description of the criminal and numerous inconsistencies in the witnesses' testimony. The case against him ultimately fell apart, and the prosecutors withdrew their case before the trial had ended.
