A silent march, organized by investigating attorneys demanding answers in the mysterious death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman, will take place in Argentina this afternoon.

Nisman, 51, was found shot dead in his apartment on Jan. 18, a day before he planned to take to Congress his allegations that President Cristina Fernandez and others in her administration reached a secret deal with Iran to shield officials allegedly involved in the 1994 bombing of Jewish community center.

Fernandez has denied the allegations.

All the major opposition parties have said they plan to participate in the Wednesday afternoon march.
