Argentina: Teachers strike and demand justice for murdered colleague

Most schools and universities were closed in Argentina as teachers from all over Argentina went on strike today. The strike was done to protest the death of one of their colleagues who was killed during a demonstration last week supposedly after being hit by a tear gas canister fired by police at close range. Some have even called on the governor of Neuquén to be held accountable for the police force's actions by resigning.

The teachers strike was coupled with another general strike that has halted nearly all public services in Argentina.
