Crowds pack streets to protest Argentine prosecutor’s death

It was supposed to be a silent march when demonstrators packed the streets of Buenos Aires.

But it didn’t take long for the chanting to start at Wednesday’s march through the Argentine capital. Some demonstrators called out, “Nisman is here!” Others chanted, “Long live the motherland!”

The march was organized by six prosecutors to honor the memory of Alberto Nisman, a special prosecutor whose mysterious death a month ago has shaken the South American nation.

“We choose singing and happiness,” Fernandez said, “and leave silence to them.”
