The Wire

You may not have heard the name Santiago Maldonado, but in Argentina, his name is everywhere.

28 year old Indigenous rights activist, Maldonado was reportedly arrested protesting for the release of a prisoner by the national gendarmarie.

But Maldonado’s case is more than just a search for one man.

The campaign has become a rallying cry for President Mauricio Macri’s top opponent the former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
