Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Argentina to demand what they have referred to as justice for the death of football legend Diego Maradona.
These protests are coming a while after he was announced dead in November 2020.
Was Maradona killed?
Earlier this week, a group of experts had met to investigate how the football icon died and whether there was any foul play or medical negligence at play in his case.
Wearing Argentinian football jerseys, the protesters held banners and flags emblazoned with the football icon’s face, as well as a cut-out of the superstar, during a rally in central Buenos Aires, the capital.
