    Caracas (EFE).- Familiares de presos políticos en Venezuela temen que «haya más muertos», luego de que el sábado falleciera un policía detenido, y exigieron este domingo la liberación de sus parientes, tres días después de que las autoridades anunciaran la excarcelación de un «número importante de personas».

    En las afueras de Zona 7, un centro de la Policía Nacional Bolivariana (PNB) en Caracas -lugar de reclusión del funcionario fallecido-, se encontraba un grupo de familiares que exigía al Gobierno de la presidenta encargada, Delcy Rodríguez, liberar a «todos» los presos políticos.

    «No tenemos más información de ellos, no tenemos fe de vida. ¿Dónde están los derechos humanos de los venezolanos? No hay derechos humanos, hemos sido violentados y ellos están presos y nosotros aquí, las madres, presos con ellos. ¿Hasta cuándo vamos a seguir aquí en Venezuela así, encarcelados todos?», expresó Evelis Cano.

    Delante de un grupo de cinco mujeres sentadas en la acera sobre una sábana y junto a varias mochilas, aseguró que tienen «días y noches durmiendo a la intemperie».

    «Estoy aquí, día y noche, siendo fuerte por mi hijo, necesito que me lo liberen, y de aquí no nos vamos a ir», aseveró Cano, quien dijo sentirse indignada.

    La familiar denunció que las cárceles de Venezuela «están llenas de venezolanos inocentes» y señaló que «ayer (sábado) murió uno», en referencia al policía Edison José Torres Fernández, de 52 años, detenido desde diciembre, quien, según el fiscal general, Tarek William Saab, falleció luego de sufrir «un evento cerebrovascular seguido de un paro cardíaco».

    Cano, con una pequeña bandera del país, agregó: «Nosotros somos Venezuela, somos una Venezuela que está en la calle, somo una Venezuela que queremos vivir en libertad».

    Organizaciones no gubernamentales y la oposición mayoritaria denuncian que el proceso de excarcelaciones anunciado el jueves ha avanzado a cuentagotas.

    Hasta las 15:00 hora local (19:00 GMT) de este domingo, la ONG Foro Penal contaba solo 17 excarcelaciones, por lo que dijo que aún quedaban 803 presos políticos, mientras que la mayor coalición opositora, la Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD), computaba 22 liberaciones hasta la tarde del sábado.

    La PUD llamó a las autoridades a «acelerar los procesos de excarcelaciones para que finalmente cese el sufrimiento». –sn–

  2. From 2024: #HumanRightsWatch - #Venezuela: Brutal #Crackdown on #Protesters, Voters

    Killings, #MassArrests Following Elections

    (Bogota) – "Venezuelan authorities are committing widespread #HumanRights violations against #protesters, #bystanders, #opposition leaders, and critics following the July 28, 2024, presidential election, Human Rights Watch said today. Concerned governments should push for independent verification of the electoral results and support international efforts to ensure accountability.

    "International observers have raised serious concerns about the July 29 announcement by Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) that #NicolásMaduro had been re-elected president. Following the announcement, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, in largely peaceful protests, to demand a fair counting of the votes. Human Rights Watch has documented that Venezuelan authorities and #ProGovernment armed groups known as '#colectivos' have committed widespread abuses, including killings, arbitrary detention and prosecution, and harassment of critics. On September 2, a judge issued an arrest warrant against opposition candidate #EdmundoGonzález for '#conspiracy,' 'incitement to #disobedience' and other crimes.

    " 'The repression we are seeing in Venezuela is shockingly brutal,' said Juanita Goebertus, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. 'Concerned governments need to take urgent steps to ensure that people are able to peacefully protest and that their vote is respected.'

    "Venezuelans voted in the presidential election in large numbers, despite irregular government actions and human rights violations in the lead-up to the election, including arrests of opposition members, arbitrary disqualifications of opposition candidates, and restrictions on Venezuelans #voting abroad. Several hours after polls closed, Venezuela’s electoral council declared that Maduro had won the election with over 51 percent of the vote. The Electoral Council has not released the tally sheets from the election, nor conducted the audits and citizen verification processes required by law.

    "The United Nations Electoral Technical Team and the #CarterCenter, which observed the elections, said the process lacked transparency and integrity, and questioned the declared result. They indicated that, instead, the precinct-level tally sheets that the opposition made public were reliable. The Carter Center noted that the tally sheets showed, with 81 percent of the votes counted, that #González had won the election by a significant margin.

    "Venezuelans have taken to the streets across the country, particularly in low-income areas traditionally supportive of the Chavismo movement, where many incidents of #repression have taken place.

    "Human Rights Watch received credible reports of 24 killings in the context of #protests from independent local groups, including Foro Penal, Justicia Encuentro y Perdón, Monitor de Víctimas, and Provea, or discovered them on social media. Human Rights Watch independently documented 11 of these cases, including by reviewing death certificates, verifying videos and photographs, and interviewing 20 people, including witnesses and other local sources. Many relatives, witnesses, and others were not willing to be interviewed because they feared #GovernmentRetaliation.

    "Human Rights Watch analyzed and verified 39 videos and 2 photographs of protests found on social media platforms or sent directly to researchers by people close to the victims, and by local organizations and journalists.

    "Researchers confirmed the exact locations where these videos were filmed; used information such as shadows, weather patterns, and upload dates to determine the time of day; and consulted with forensic pathologists and arms experts, who analyzed the injuries and weapons that were seen and heard.

    "According to Venezuelan authorities, they arrested over 2,400 people in connection with protests. The local pro bono group #ForoPenal recorded over 1,580 '#PoliticalPrisoners' who have been arrested since July 29, including 114 children. Prosecutors have charged hundreds with sometimes broadly defined crimes carrying harsh sentences, such as '#incitement to hatred,' '#resistance to #authority,' and 'terrorism.'

    "The government has also intensified its broader repressive tactics, cancelling passports of critics to prevent them from leaving the country, encouraging citizens to report on #demonstrators, and conducting abusive #raids, especially in low-income communities. On August 15, Maduro’s supporters in the National Assembly passed a law that grants the government #BroadPowers to control and shut down nongovernmental organizations [#NGOs]."
