The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, rejected the complaints issued by international organizations, in that in Venezuela the “short -term forced disappearances” are applied, and said that the people who have been arrested have committed punishable acts.
Such signal did it during an interview with the BBC, in which he declared on various issues related to human rights.
SAAB pointed out that a wrong concept is being used that follows from the “problem of not scientifically handling the issue of human rights. Forced disappearance is kidnapping, non -presentation before a police or judicial body of the person and its subsequent murder ”.
He stressed in the interview that: “A forced disappearance express does not exist. Do not start inventing things that are not a forced disappearance. ” In addition, he added that in Venezuela people have been arrested “because they committed punishable events and then they already want to look for the figure they do not get. Now they want to invent a new forced disappearance figure. No, they are arrests and the people are then presented to the corresponding bodies, they are charged and the trial is made. ”
He said that organisms that are spreading such versions do not have the morals to do so. “The countries that promote genocide and extermination in Gaza, which invaded Iraq, Libya or Afghanistan are not going to teach me. It is a double standard. As I said, it is part of the hybrid war: the use of human rights to damage the image, through the Lawfare (political use of justice), of a nation that is not part of the geopolitical orbit of the great powers of powers, ”he said.
Free enemies
Also the prosecutor when asked about the questions that have arisen by agencies such as The Inter -American Human Rights Commission (IACHR) and the Mission Determination of Acts for Venezuela of the United Nations, with respect to the Justice System and the alleged persecution of opposition leaders, said that “when we have this responsibility we have to demarcate ourselves from what ourselves They can say free enemies of this transformation process that see everything wrong. ”
He added that “María Corina and Edmundo González are total enemies of the Venezuelan homeland and the people. While what they have offered is military invasion, foreign intervention, war, called to subversion of the armed force and have absolutely failed. ”
He said that on July 29 and 30, after the presidential election “brutal facts of violence occurred. 28 people died at the hands of violent protesters, burned health centers, schools, electoral centers and demolished monuments and depending on this, a group of people were arrested. ”
Saab stressed that “two National Guard officials died, 195 people were injured, of which 97 were police and military; and 500 goods were destroyed. ”
The prosecutor considers that the judicial system properly acted “to avoid a civil war” and recalled that after individually reviewing each case, 1,187 measures to release the people who were detained.
Also during the interview he was consulted on the CNE minutes of the presidential elections, and said that he could see the same “after an exhaustive analysis the magistrates concluded that the bulletins issued by the CNE fully agreed with the acts of scrutiny of the machines of the machines of the machines of Votation and with the records from the totalization centers, which confirmed the victory of President Maduro. There is no doubt about that. ”
Dismantled Aragua Train
The attorney general Tarek William Saab, was also consulted in the interview with the deportation of Venezuelan citizens from the United States, which would include members of the Aragua train, to which he replied that said band was “dismantled.”
“The Aragua train has been dismantled in this country, to the point that 50 of its main members are imprisoned and the maximum penalty will fall on them, while others have an arrest warrant. But there is a terrible case and it is the case of the Guerrero child [máximo dirigente de la banda y en paradero desconocido]. He and seven collaborators in Colombia were located. The information was given to the police and military authorities of Colombia. What happened? They let them go. Let’s leave the lies. There was the Guerrero boy, in that house, ”he replied to the BBC.
Regarding the case of former military Ronald Ojeda, who was killed in Chile, he said it was a “false flag” operation, and argues that the Chilean state “covered up.”
“I launched a line of investigation to see if there was the participation of police from third countries and Chile himself (…) We sent two directors in the basis of coordination with the Chilean National Prosecutor’s Office. I communicated with the attorney general and know what happened? They did not receive it. Why did they not allow us to review the evidence of the files? Because? Because there is no more pirate prosecutor in the world than the Chilean, ”said Saab.
