Argentine photojournalist Facundo Molares was arbitrarily detained on Nov. 29, 2019, when Bolivias coup-born government led by Jeanine Añez was trying to establish itself in power through censorship of independent media.
His father sent a letter to Argentina's President Alberto Fernandez requesting him to act in favor of the political prisoner's repatriation.
"I respectfully ask you to initiate some action to repatriate my son, unjustly imprisoned in an arbitrary cause, which is politically motivated and has no evidence against him," Hugo Molares said.
Facundo was in Bolivia working for a magazine when the U.S.-backed coup against President Evo Morales was unleashed. Currently, his health is not good and his family fears for his life.
