An investigation has been called for and charges to be brought against those responsible for the attempted murder of Baptist Pastor Marcelo Nieva in Río Tercero, Cordoba Province, Argentina on 21 October.
Pastor Nieva, who leads the Pueblo Grande Baptist Church, which works with victims of domestic violence, sex trafficking and drug addicts, was shot at multiple times while driving along with church member Daniel Carreño. They were not wounded.
A group of national and provincial baptist leaders have expressed alarm at the attack, noting that the attempted murder is the latest and most severe instance in a pattern of threats and harassment against him.
