The indigenous leader was arrested in January 2016 for allegedly inciting violence while leading a protest against changes to the cooperation program pushed through by former Jujuy governor Gerardo Morales.
She is currently under house arrest and several organizations have denounced the humiliation, abuse and attacks she has been subjected to.
Sala suffers from episodes of deep vein thrombosis and kidney problems and in 2023 she suffered the deaths of her son Sergio Chorolque and her husband, the journalist and poet Raúl Noro.
She was arrested during the governments of Mauricio Macri and Morales. He is a victim of enormous injustice, accusations and political, legal and media persecution. Two thousand 923 days for the challenge of power, for politics for those below, said the Tupac Amaru group in a message published on the social network X.
For its part, Patriotic Encounter asserted that the authorities wanted to imprison her because she “built the dignity of her people and led a neighborhood organization made up mostly of women that provided relief against poverty and produced cooperative work.”
Tupac built sports centers, schools, factories, health centers and swimming pools that were usurped by Morales. It was the third source of job creation in Jujuy. That's what Miracle did! Freedom now! he added.
La Cámpora and the Frente Grande Nacional also joined this claim.
