“These women who didn’t commit a crime, who didn’t break any migratory law, are being illegally deprived of their freedom,” Christian Rubilar, who represents three of the six women detained at the Ezeiza International Airport outside Buenos Aires, said prior to the judge’s decision. “The quantity really is very big each day, only last night in the last Ethiopian flight, 33 Russian citizens entered with pregnancies of approximately 32, 33, 34 weeks,” Carignano said.citizens have entered Argentina, including around 10,500 pregnant women and “the numbers have been increasing in the last few months,” Carignano said. “In the last three months, 5,819 women who were about to give birth entered” Argentina.
