In April 2004 the death of a 23-year-old student provoked a wave of protests in Argentina. The demonstrators demanded a tough government response to rising crime. The protests were led by Juan Carlos Blumberg, father of the murdered student.(Photo: Posters bearing the photo of Axel Blumberg. Credit: AFP)
