Carlos Valecillo’s relatives said that on several occasions he warned them that he would make an attempt on his life. They assure that he is not a terrorist and ask Nicolás Maduro for his freedom and that of all those detained in the post-electoral context
The mother and sisters of political prisoner Carlos Valecillo, held in the Tocorón prison and who made an attempt on his life on Sunday, demanded that the authorities allow them to enter the prison and directly verify his state of health.
«We have not heard anything from him, they deny us seeing him, they deny us going in and seeing if he is really alive, if he is well. “We don’t know what’s happening in there,” said Ismena Isabel Ramírez, Valecillo’s mother, in front of the Public Ministry.
He indicated that they were only shown a photo “from a distance” where Carlos was seen lying on a stretcher.
Mónica Ramírez, one of Valecillo’s sisters, indicated that within Tocorón “they have no life and we are also desperate. Imagine knowing that your brother hanged himself and we haven’t been able to see him. And they tell you that if you say something you affect his process.
Carlos Valecillo’s mother wondered what the reason was for not allowing family members to see him and demanded from the authorities “faith of life and freedom” for him and for all those imprisoned, who reiterated that they are innocent. «They are not political prisoners or terrorists as the Government calls them. “I demand that the president of the Republic give freedom to all these boys.”
Ismena Ramírez said that her son, Carlos Valecillo, warned her on several occasions that he would make an attempt on her life, but she said she rejected him going to that extreme. He recalled that there are several young people detained during the post-election protests who have made attempts on his life and demand justice.
Carlos Valecillo’s sisters said that they found out that he had tried to hang himself from the other detainees who helped him and who told them what happened; However, they insisted that the officials only told him “he was alive, in the infirmary, with an IV in his veins and that he had made an attempt on his life.”
Mónica Ramírez indicated that a “lieutenant colonel saw him” and assured them that he was in the Tocorón infirmary; but that “a presidential order to be able to see his brother.
“He became very depressed,” said Yurisme Ramírez and maintained that this was due to the abscesses that appeared on his face that caused deformations and fever. “My brother needs help and many of the boys who are there because they are living a total hell,” said Mónica Ramírez.
Among the precarious conditions that Carlos Valecillo’s sister described to which prisoners in Tocorón are exposed, she highlighted: “Piche food, ground meat with worms, isolation for 20 days in a cell.”
Carlos Valecillo worked as a taxi driver. He is from Antímano and was arrested on July 29 when he was driving a neighbor to buy some medicine.
