Pierina Nochetti, a lesbian human rights activist, is facing criminal charges of “aggravated damage” for painting a graffiti in protest questioning the disappearance of a young trans man in the city of Necochea, Argentina. Her trial is scheduled for 6 March and is facing a sentence of up to 4 years in prison. The charges appear to be an unnecessary and disproportionate restriction to the right to freedom of expression that the authorities should drop.
