Protests over house arrest request for femicide convict

Overview

The family of Natividad Cañizares and the collective ‘Madres y Padres del Dolor’ are protesting a request for house arrest made by the defense of José Nicolás Romero. Romero was sentenced to life imprisonment for the femicide of Cañizares in October 2024.

Romero, held at the Alto Comedero penal unit, has requested the judicial benefit citing health issues. While Judge Salvador Gustavo Ortiz did not grant the request during a recent remote hearing, the decision is pending the results of a medical board evaluation. Family members and activists argue that the penitentiary system has sufficient medical resources to treat the inmate and maintain that those convicted of grave crimes should not receive benefits that could pose a risk to public safety.
