The BBC reported on the 28th (local time) that thousands of citizens and the victims' families marched to the Argentine National Congress the previous day, calling for justice.


Previously, on the 19th, a drug trafficking organization in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, kidnapped and brutally murdered three women, including a 15-year-old girl and her 20-year-old cousin.


The entire process of torturing and killing the victims was streamed live on Instagram, with 45 private accounts watching the real-time broadcast.


In the footage obtained by investigators, a man believed to be the leader of the organization is seen saying, "This is what happens if you steal my drugs."


The victims' bodies were found five days after they went missing, in the southern suburbs of Buenos Aires. Police believe the drug trafficking organization committed the crime as part of internal control measures and broadcast it live on social media.


Immediately after the incident, police arrested five suspects-three men and two women-but the main suspect, a man of Peruvian nationality, remains at large.



Outraged by the horrific news, citizens took to the streets in protest. The victims' families also joined the march. The grandfather of the murdered cousins condemned the drug organization, stating, "These murderers committed atrocities that even animals would not do."
