After the provincial constitutional reform in Jujuy, sanctioned in 2023, legal cases and arrests were initiated against the communities and social movements that protested, as well as persecution against the lawyers who defended those arrested.

Organisations denounce that among these lawyers is Alicia ‘Lali’ Chalabe, a lawyer for the indigenous communities of the Salinas Grandes and Laguna Guayatayoc basin. They report that the harassment against her has moved into the field of social networks with mockery and caricatures, but the situation has now worsened with the proliferation of false news with the intention of discrediting Lali Chalabe and creating a climate of self-censorship for anyone who dares to oppose the lithium extraction business.
