Hundreds of people convened in the iconic Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires’ downtown area to condemn the death of AMIA lead investigator Alberto Nisman, in a demonstration that was marked by sporadic clashes with police.
While the majority of protesters chanted peacefully, some knocked down a barrier erected around Government House by security forces, provoking some violent incidents this evening.
The protest was called for through social media websites, shortly after news broke that the prosecutor had been found dead in his Puerto Madero apartment.
Other demonstrations also took place across the country, including outside President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s official residence in Olivos, Buenos Aires province.
