Argentina: Prison for gunman in attack against photojournalist and protesters

The Argentine Association of Graphic Reporters (ARGRA, for its Spanish acronym) issued a statement contextualizing and condemning what happened. The statement said that 'one of the attackers pulled out a firearm and fired at the march, and then aimed and fired twice at our associate Federico Soto, a photojournalist from the newspaper La Mañana de Neuquén, who was covering the news.'
