Thursday 5 of August The two detainees have been freed While they demanded toys and other products from the hypermarket Carrefour in La Plata, the CTD Aníbal Verón reports that a police van tried to knock down some of the demonstrators, generating incidents that, after the intervention of an infantry of local police, ended with three members of the CTD Aníbal Verón being detained.
The police detained a member of the CTD who resisted despite suffering blows while his/her companions tried to rescue him/her. The police repressed the demonstration with tear gas, rubber bullets and – as reported by members of the CTD- lead bullets, none of which was denied by the officer in charge of the operation who told the channel TN that “we had to fire shots into the air”.
Around 5pm the 3 detained testified before no less than the public prosecutor Martini (one detainee is a minor and has been remitted to a minors court).
Members of the CTD Aníbal Verón and of the Coordinadora por la Libertad de los Presos Políticos (Organizer for the Freedom of political prisoners) are at the sixth police station in Tolosa, where they are being guarded and fenced in by various troops, and where they will remain until they compañeros are freed.
At 23:30 the two detained were freed
