Promulgation of Law 26248 - Abrogation of conviction in absentia
Repeal of rule that allowed conviction in absentia and establishment of probation
Law 26248, published on November 26, 1993, repealed Decree Law 25728, which allowed for the conviction in absentia of those accused of terrorism and treason. This law also established the possibility for those accused of terrorism to claim parole, although it provided for an exceptional procedure that required confirmation by a faceless court, which could mean several months of waiting.
