NGO files criminal complaint against Argentine judge over juvenile law suspension

Usina de Justicia, an NGO led by Diana Cohen Agrest, filed a criminal complaint against Judge Marta Elba Pascual for usurpation of functions and abuse of authority after Pascual suspended the application of juvenile penal law in the province. The NGO also requested to join a habeas corpus proceeding and urged consideration of crime victims' perspectives. This marks an escalation in the judicial-political dispute over juvenile justice, with the outcome uncertain as the complaint's admissibility and the judge's response remain pending.
