SUPPORTERS of former Argentinian president Cristina Fernandez protested in Buenos Aires on Thursday night after she was detained for alleged treason.

Demonstrators took to the city’s Plaza de Mayo after Ms Fernandez was taken into custody over claims that she had covered up alleged Iranian government involvement in a 1994 car-bomb attack on the Argentinian Israelite Mutual Association that killed 86 people.

Ms Fernandez, who stood up to US “vulture fund” creditors when in office, faces up to 10 years in jail.
