More than 21,000 people have been held in compulsory quarantine in the northern province of Formosa. One thousand, one hundred and fifty-seven are still being held, despite there only being 60 active cases in the province, according to Formosa’s own figures. “This arbitrary detention under the blanket of sanitary policy is not only illegal but a flagrant violation of human rights,” said the head of Amnesty International in Argentina, Mariela Belski.

Argentina province keeps 18,000 people confined without distance, water and food – 28/01/2021 – Worldwide – KSU

ksuadminJanuary 28, 2021 657 For almost a year, the province of Formosa, one of the poorest in Argentina, has been completely isolated from the rest of the country. Only residents can enter it, and even then, only after implementing long and draconian health measures imposed by the local government to fight the coronavirus. Images of crowded gyms, without isolation of infected people, crowded border camps and people crying for help from inside hotel rooms have shocked Argentines. In addition to requiring a test with a negative result to enter the territory, the government requires quarantines, in places designated by the authorities, which exceed 20 days – exceeding the recommendation of the WHO (World Health Organization) .

Argentine Senator: 'You Have Rights, But Not in a Pandemic'

27 Jan 2021 An Argentine senator defended his province’s governor from accusations of human rights violations against suspected coronavirus patients Tuesday by declaring, “you have rights, but not in a pandemic.” José Mayans represents the northern inland province of Formosa, one of the nation’s poorest and most remote. A member of the pan-ideological Justicialist Party, once run by Juan Perón, he is now the Senate leader of a leftist coalition in Congress known as the “Front for All.” Mayans was reportedly responding to a bombshell investigation by a Formosa councilwoman last week that revealed officials forcing individuals into isolation centers against their will, including many who had not tested positive for Chinese coronavirus and some who had tested negative. The councilwoman behind the investigation, Gabriela Neme, was arrested while filming what she called “inhuman conditions” in those centers.
