Critical Condition of Photographer After Police Repression

Pablo Grillo, the photographer injured during the police repression at the retirees' march, has come out of surgery and remains in intensive care with a reserved and critical prognosis, according to his father who reported this tonight at the door of the Ramos Mejía Hospital.

Doctors managed to lower the intracranial pressure and reconstruct part of the damaged tissue, while the pupillary response was initially positive. The aggression occurred amid violent police repression against protesters, retirees, and press workers in the vicinity of Congress.

Grillo's family and human rights organizations condemned the actions of the security forces and demanded explanations from the Ministry of Security, led by Patricia Bullrich. In the meantime, blood donors of any group and factor are being requested. However, his condition remains delicate, and the coming days will be crucial for his recovery.

The photographer suffered the impact of a tear gas canister to the head, causing severe cranial trauma, multiple fractures, and loss of brain mass.

Those who can help should go to the José María Ramos Mejía General Acute Hospital (General Urquiza 609, CABA) on Thursday, March 13 in the morning with their ID, mentioning that the donation is for Pablo Grillo.
