A group of members of the Women's National Front appeared at the gates of the Attorney General's Office to reject the statements of Attorney General Luisa Ortega Díaz on public demonstrations. Dinora Figuera, spokeswoman for the group, said that the protests are enshrined in Article 68 of the Constitution and that the Attorney General places herself in the margins of the law when she threatens to imprison those who speak out. They called attention to the Report from Provea which indicates that 2,200 people are currently in criminal proceedings after participating in public demonstrations. Source: La Voz
