Protesters take to the streets in Buenos Aires to demand answers surrounding the death of a young protester who went missing in Argentina nearly three months ago.

The march comes one day after Santiago Maldonado’s family identified his body. Investigators discovered a body last week in the Chubut River in Patagonia, near where the activist was last seen at an indigenous rights protest on August 1.

Some government opposition and rights groups have said state security forces took Maldonado, a 28-year-old craftsman, after police reportedly clashed with Mapuche Indians who claim territory throughout southern Argentina and Chile.
