Emerenciano Sena, sentenced to life imprisonment for the femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowski, initiated a hunger strike on September 20 at the Complejo Penitenciario Provincial N. º 1 in Resistencia. Sena requested house arrest or a transfer to a different facility sector, citing a “grave and progressive deterioration” of his physical and psychological health. He reported several medical issues, including diabetes, hypertension, gastrointestinal disorders, and respiratory complications, while also criticizing the prison's poor ventilation, humidity, and structural decay.

Following a 12-day hunger strike, Sena was hospitalized at Hospital Julio C. Perrando. Reports indicate he lost approximately seven kilograms and experienced a deterioration of vital signs. His legal defense continues to argue that his pre-existing medical conditions are exacerbated by the sanitary conditions of the penitentiary, maintaining requests for specialized medical care and house arrest.
