Description[ ]
Deployment of Clearview AI in Argentina. Uses 500 facial recognition cameras.
As previously reported on the CIVICUS Monitor, in December 2021 and early months of 2022 protesters took to the streets in Argentina against negotiations between the government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to restructure the country’s debt. A new agreement was announced in January 2022, and demonstrations continued as the details of the deal were finalised. On 8th February 2022, thousands marched through the streets of Buenos Aires carrying banners saying “no to paying the IMF” and “no to an IMF deal.” On 10th March 2022, protesters decrying the agreement clashed with the Buenos Aires police near the parliament building, where the deal was under discussion by legislators. The incident involved a group of mostly hooded protesters throwing stones at the Congress building and police guarding the area. Police forces responded with rubber bullets, and officers on motorbikes dispersed the protest. At least one protester was detained and three police officers were injured. 1
