The government of Nicolás Maduro accused the United States of using the issue of human rights as a tool for its political convenience, “based on distorted narratives.” The Executive rejected the most recent report on this subject made by the State Department of that country, which lists murders, disappearances and torture committed by the Venezuelan security forces.
“Once again, this report is published to attack sovereign countries, whose decisions are not made with the consent of Washington, while the United States, internally, fails to contain the growing poverty, fails to mitigate the brutality of police racism institutionalized, fails to abandon arbitrary measures of deprivation of liberty of undocumented migrants and does not stop applying illegal and unilateral coercive measures against at least 30% of the world population,” said the Government through a statement published by the Foreign Ministry in its Web page.
