The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation gave
the governor of Formosa Gildo Insfrán three days
this Thursday
to
send him
the protocols for the defense of human rights
in the isolation centers for those infected with Covid-19, among other measures.
Insfrán is an ally of the K.
The highest court made this request
before deciding on the jurisdiction of the habeas corpus
of the senator of Together for Change Luis Petcoff Naidenoff, who argued that human rights conventions are not respected in these centers.
The decision supposes whether the habeas corpus will be specified by the federal or provincial courts.
Habeas corpus was used, above all, during the dictatorship to find out the whereabouts and situation of kidnapped or missing persons.
The human rights situation in Formosa was at the center of the national debate at the beginning of the month when Elisa Carrió
requested the intervention of the province
and a delegation of deputies from Juntos por el Cambios made an on-site inspection.
After the Secretary of Human Rights, Horacio Pietragalla, pointed out that the opposition's complaints "were a joke."
But above all, he asked to know what are "
the protocols for the protection of human rights
that the provincial authorities that control and apply health regulations must respect, even with respect to those who comply with home quarantines."
In addition, he urged the government of the Province of Formosa "on the need to carry out the control and prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 virus
in accordance with the constitutional and conventional standards concerning human rights
."
"As well as about the urgent duty that weighs on the courts of justice throughout the country, within the framework of their respective powers,
to provide effective protection to people whose rights are threatened
or have already been violated," warned the maximum court.
In a resolution, to which
Clarín
agreed
, the Court also asked Insfrán "if the Health Care Center located in the" Polideportivo Cincuentenario Stadium "
has been permanently deactivated
, or if it is a decision conditioned to the reduction in the level of contagion and, if so, under what guidelines would it be reopened ”.
He also wants to know "
if there are
other internment centers operating under the same conditions as those of the State Attorney's Office of the Province of Formosa regarding the" Polideportivo Cincuentenario Stadium. "
How did the case start?
The Formosa State Prosecutor's Office presented an extraordinary federal appeal through which it intends to bring before the Supreme Court the discussion about whether it corresponds to intervene in the federal or provincial justice in habeas corpus linked to the people housed in the isolation centers for coronavirus from that district.
The prosecution
challenged
the decision taken during the January judicial fair to declare the jurisdiction of the federal jurisdiction to process the habeas corpus presented by the national senator for that province and holder of the Juntos por el Cambio interblock in the upper house, Luis Petcoff Naidenoff.
The president of Chamber IV of the Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber, Mariano Borinsky, saw the extraordinary federal appeal to the prosecution and to the petitioner of habeas corpus.
In turn, Senator Naidenoff appeared before Chamber IV to inform him that the Federal Court of Formosa had already sent the habeas corpus to the Supreme Court of Justice for it to resolve the jurisdiction of this case.
In the habeas corpus, Naidenoff maintained that the isolation centers in Formosa
do not
respect the conditions of privacy, intimacy, hygiene and sanitation.
