In 2012, a video released by La Nación and Clarín showed two young men being tortured in a police station in General Güemes, Salta Province. On Friday, one of the young victims, Mario Rodríguez, was found dead, hanging from a tree. Rodríguez, Martínez, and two other youths in Salta were accused of raping a young girl in 2009. A video that was leaked in the autumn of 2015 showed a police officer in Tucumán Province brutalizing a teenager in his cell. Former Interior Security Secretary Sergio Berni once blamed protestors for getting shot during a protest against layoffs on the Pan-American Highway.
