    UN requests to know why Argentine social leader Milagro Sala remains in jail

    Charges were filed against Sala in January for instigation of ''crimes and sedition'', after staging a sit-in against Jujuy Governor Gerardo Morales, an ally of Macri.

    United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention wants Argentine President Mauricio Macri to explain why social leader Milagro Sala has been in jail for almost two months. The request comes two weeks after the UN Group accepted a filing submitted by the Centre of Legal and Social Studies (CELS), Amnesty International and Andhes, a group of lawyers from the northern area of the country.
