Buenos Aires, January 18 (NA) — On the eleventh anniversary of the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman, a series of tributes were held this Sunday, including a 'citizen procession' to the Le Parc towers in Puerto Madero. The events, which will continue tomorrow at the headquarters on Pasteur Street, keep alive the call for justice under the slogan: 'It was not a suicide, it was a state-sponsored murder.' The day was marked by the presence of Sara Garfunkel, Nisman's mother, who joined the march organized by the 'Republican Team,' reported the Argentine News Agency. Protesters marched from the Azucena Villaflor Boulevard to the plaza in front of the building where Nisman was found dead on January 18, 2015, a day before he was scheduled to appear before Congress to expand his complaint against the government of Cristina Kirchner. Demands and case updates During the main event, legislator Waldo Wolff and journalist Daniel Santoro were the main speakers, providing details on the status of the judicial investigation. Santoro denounced that prosecutor Eduardo Taiano detected dozens of calls from officials seeking to promote the suicide theory as soon as the news broke. The suspicion of a 'parallel SIDE' linked to the Army that would have conducted intelligence operations on the prosecutor and his family was reiterated. Wolff praised Nisman as a man who 'dared to denounce the tyrannical power and paid with his life.' The tributes will continue tomorrow at 8:45 with a lecture at the DAIA, which will be attended by federal judge and Nisman's ex-wife, Sandra Arroyo Salgado. IP Meanwhile, at 10:00, another event in memory of the late prosecutor will be held at the AMIA, led by the institution's authorities and family members. The eleventh anniversary of Nisman's death comes at a time of high geopolitical sensitivity. The recent decision by the government of Javier Milei to declare the Iranian Quds Force a terrorist organization, coupled with warnings received from Tehran in recent hours, has given this year's tributes renewed significance.
