Cristina Kirchner's lawyers will hold a press conference on her filing before the UN in the Vialidad case
The former president's defense will speak this Tuesday at a hotel in Monserrat about the proceeding filed before the UN Human Rights Committee. According to Perfil, the filing seeks to review the prison sentence and disqualification handed down in the Vialidad case.
Lawyers Rafael Valim, Alberto Beraldi and Javier Borrego, who represent Cristina Kirchner, called a press conference for this Tuesday, September 15, at the NH Hotel, located at Bolívar 160, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Monserrat.
According to Perfil, the attorneys will provide details about the filing made by the former president before the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations to seek a review of the six-year prison sentence and the ban on holding public office that she received in the Vialidad case.
According to that outlet, Cristina Kirchner brought the case before that body on July 29. In that filing, she argued that she is the victim of political persecution, or “lawfare,” and of violations of due process.
Perfil added that the former president also requested a precautionary measure to halt her lifetime disqualification from holding public office, with the aim of leaving open a possible candidacy.
Still according to Perfil, Kirchner has been under house arrest since June 17, 2025, a benefit granted to her by Federal Oral Court No. 2 because she is over 70 years old. The measure is being carried out under surveillance with an electronic ankle monitor.
In parallel with the international filing, the former president published an open letter on her social media accounts and an opinion column in which she announced the addition of international lawyers and again maintained her innocence, Perfil reported.
