Buenos Aires, Argentina - March 13, 2025 Mariela Gómez, mother of Lautaro, a 12-year-old boy detained yesterday by police, recounted what happened when her son was returning from school with a classmate near Congress during the retiree march, where dozens of repressive incidents by security forces were reported. "One of the police officers accused them of throwing rocks at the Casa Rosada," said the woman, who asserted that, without evidence, they were handcuffed and held incommunicado until 9 p.m. Early Tuesday morning, Judge Karina Andrade issued a ruling ordering the release of 94 of the 124 detainees, including Lautaro and his classmate. "They were cold. They weren't allowed to put on their jackets. They weren't allowed to pee." "Lautaro was leaving school. Since everything was blocked off, he was looking for places to travel. He doesn't know the area very well. When he arrived, everyone was running around. They started running. He was with a friend who was drinking a mate. As they ran, they made his mate fly. One of the police officers accused them of throwing rocks. They arrested them and accused them of throwing rocks at the Casa Rosada," the boy's mother told Urbana Play. Mariela described how the police reacted excessively to her son: "They jumped on a 12-year-old boy. A huge guy jumped on him to grab him by the back and put the seals on him."
