• Latin America: The odyssey of 16 Venezuelan children, deported from Trinidad and Tobago and thrown into the sea for two days

  • Venezuela.José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero defends the fraudulent elections of Nicolás Maduro

A Trinidadian judge yesterday ordered

the release of the 16 children and minors and the nine women who remained imprisoned in the Erin police station

after starring in an odyssey only possible in Venezuela.

The group will remain in isolation in some rooms of the Ministry of Justice to comply with the forced isolation by Covid-19 as a previous step to family reunification by court order.

The defense lawyers mobilized by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) managed to put a stop and follow the suffering of children and women.

The story of the protagonists is overwhelming

, even when after drifting at sea they managed to return to the territory of Trinidad and Tobago.

"They caught us on the beach again and did the same procedure.

We are all in the same cell, 24 people

. This woman has not stopped crying because of the pain in her spine. This girl has an upset stomach, that baby has a fever and his mother has a stomach ache. This baby hasn't stopped crying because he wants a

bottle

. This baby has a huge cough and the lady is vomiting. "

The "dantesque" video recorded inside the cell by one of the women, made public on social networks,

confirmed to what extent the authorities of the Caribbean country

, a staunch ally of Nicolás Maduro,

reached

in their mistreatment of Venezuelan emigrants until the judicial intervention .

Most of the children came to the island in search of their parents because their illnesses cannot be treated in Venezuela due to the lack of medicines and medical equipment.

Gone are four days full of anguish also experienced by much of the country, which has attended the journey that began on Sunday with shock and outrage, when the Trinidad and Tobago authorities decided to throw children and women aboard fragile boats into the sea.

The deportation endangered the lives of all of them, who drifted until they reached the coast of Delta Amacuro.

On the beach they received the help of villagers until another boat paid for by their relatives in Trinidad took them back to the island, where they were again captured.

"

We are currently under the latest assault, using

faceless and

anonymous people

armed with innocent children to try to force us to accept their understanding of refugee status," the prime minister, Keith Rowley, tried to apologize, who diverted all his blame towards the Organization of American States (OAS) and the USA.

These two Caribbean islands were benefited for years with the funds that Caracas distributed through PetroCaribe.

The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry,

fierce in its treatment against any country or initiative that is considered an "interference"

against the absolute power of the revolution, was dispatched with a complacent statement after four days of incidents.

Maduro is satisfied with a "necessary working meeting

to discuss human mobility

" with his allies.

Instead, the democratic parliament and the presidency in charge alerted the international community and ordered an investigation.
