  • Execution. Óscar Pérez's mother: "I just want there to be justice"

"From Venezuela, a country that promotes peace and respect, we maintain our strong struggle to defend the basic rights of the human being. Working together, we can build a better world with real guarantees for everyone without distinction." Nicolás Maduro has taken advantage today of the celebration of Human Rights Day to boast of the supposed advances made by his Government, which has immediately provoked the response from the opposition: "In our Venezuela there is nothing to celebrate. Here all are violated. human rights at the same time. We are oppressed by a satrap that starves, persecutes and kills us, "said deputy Delsa Solórzano, vice president of the Human Rights Committee of the International Inter-Parliamentary Union.

At the same time, opposition leaders were leaving the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. Michelle Bachelet's team has received photographic evidence of the execution of Óscar Pérez and his six companions, revolted against Chavismo.

"We raised a series of complaints and delivered the same evidence [more than 400 photographs of the El Junquito massacre, videos and expert documents] as in the International Criminal Court. They told us that for the first time they received strong evidence of the El Junquito massacre An investigation is going to be opened. We are grateful, "former deputy Wilmer Azuaje has detailed to EL MUNDO.

The high commissioner continues her efforts in the fight for human rights in Venezuela, has even achieved several releases of political prisoners in recent days. This has been confirmed by the Criminal Forum, which estimates that there are currently 391 political prisoners and 8,996 people "formally criminalized without having committed a crime," said Gonzalo Himiob, director of the NGO.

For its next March reports, the Bachelet team already has the terrible photographs, advanced exclusively by CHRONICLE, which would confirm the execution suffered by the famous police inspector and his six fellow "libertarians". They also received reports about the persecution undertaken by Chavism against the deputies of the democratic Parliament and, in particular, the case of former parliamentarian Azuaje, who remained illegally detained for more than 400 days in the sinister headquarters of the political police in the Helicoid of Caracas. The former Chavista leader, who denounced the corruption of the Chávez family in Barinas, remained chained to a pipe next to a staircase for several days after his immunity was violated.

"We are 31 deputies who have been forced to be out of Venezuela and our parliamentary immunity has been violated. Death threats exist on our families," recalled Franco Casella, president of the Human Rights subcommittee in the Democratic Parliament.

Since Chavismo, attacks against Bachelet have multiplied in recent days, led by Maduro himself, who accuses the former socialist president of Chile of covering her eyes at what is happening in Bolivia and in her country. "We will be very attentive to the report that Bachelet will present in December on Venezuela, to see if he returns to lie or insult our institution," government prosecutor Tarek William Saab said today.

The high commissioner's report already detailed the thousands of extra-sumarial executions in Venezuela, including urging Chavism to dissolve the Special Police Forces (FAES), created by Maduro in 2017 and converted into "extermination battalions," according to the United Nations .

"Maduro repressive forces extrajudicially executed 6,856 people between May 2019 and May 2019," said the National Communication Center of the presidency in charge. The vast majority are about actions of punishment of FAES squads in poor and popular neighborhoods with the excuse of prosecuting alleged criminals.
