Relatives of political prisoners in Venezuela on Tuesday requested the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, her speech before the government of Nicolás Maduro, to achieve the release of these detainees, which include two Mexican citizens.
Through a concentration on the outskirts of the Mexico Embassy in Caracas, the relatives delivered a document addressed to the Mexican president, in which they expressed their “deep concern about the systematic and prolonged crisis of human rights” that Venezuela lives.
In their letter, they warned that the conditions under their loved ones “have continued deteriorating.” They stated that “prolonged insulation practices have been maintained as a form of torture and arbitrary suspensions of visits as a mechanism of coercion have been applied.”
They asked the Mexican Government to “activate all multilateral channels and diplomatic mechanisms available to intercede before the Venezuelan government”, and “their attention and support” to ensure the “full and immediate and immediate freedom of their relatives, allow visits” without arbitrary restrictions “, put an end to the” prolonged isolation “, provide adequate medical care and guarantee the” respect for the right to designate the right to designate trusted lawyer. “
“Finally, we request that Mexico, having previously participated as a companion in dialogue processes between the opposition and the Government of Venezuela, assume an active role as a country promoting a regional commission for the freedom of political prisoners in Venezuela and in solidarity with their victims,” they added.
