For two months Aldo Rosso’s family expects the report on their health, prepared by a coroner, be incorporated into the file to request a substitute measure of freedom in court. Nor have they been able to enter the application by age, as he turned 70 being in a PNB cell in the Yaguara (Caracas)
“He wears out, but he stands firm,” Jyuli Rosso defines the situation of his father Aldo, an activist of the Popular Will party in the El Valle parish (Caracas) arrested on July 4 of last year and linked to an alleged sabotage to the national electrical system.
Aldo Rosso was arrested near his home when he was about to move to the demonstration called in Caracas for the start of the electoral campaign. After six days, where his family was not aware of where he was, he was presented in court and publicly accused by prosecutor Tarek William Saab to be linked to an “attack” to the electrical system.
The political activist is detained in the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the PNB La Yaguara. It suffers from hypertension, diabetes and an inguinal hernia that constantly produces pain. In early November, An NGO requested medical care Immediate because their blood pressure problems worse.
Two months ago they got a coroner to visit him and make an assessment, but the medical report to expedite his case in court for health reasons has not yet arrived.

«This is the date that this report has not reached courts, therefore, The public defender has not been able to introduce a request for precautionary measures for health reasons. He has not even been able to implement what corresponds by law regarding age. He turned 70 being detained, ”explains his daughter.
Article 231 of the Organic Criminal Procedure Code states that:
«The preventive judicial deprivation of freedom of people over seventy, of women in the last three months of pregnancy, of the mothers during the breastfeeding of their sons or daughters until the six months after birth, or of the people affected by a disease in the terminal phase, duly proven. In these cases, if any precautionary measure of a personal nature is essential, house arrest or seclusion will be decreed in a specialized center ».
To this is added the delays in the opening of judgment. His daughter details that, before the holiday by carnival, the judge who carried the case resigned, as did the prosecutor of the Public Ministry. “New appointments were made and assigned to the Third Control Court with competence in terrorism” to know the cause of Rosso, says Jyuli, but a date has not yet been designated.
On Thursday, April 10, some relatives of Rosso approached courts to ask, but could not be attended by the special work schedule imposed by the electrical rationing. After Easter, when it is up to the public defender, they plan to go again to know if the medical report was incorporated into the file.
It is estimated that at least 90 political prisoners throughout the country, of the 896 according to the Registry of the Criminal Forum, need immediate and specialized medical attention, due to diseases that have worsened in prison or pathologies that occurred by cruel and inhuman torture or treatment.
«It does not demonstrate it although This is exhausting, both for him and for us outsidebut we continue in the fight. We cannot give up, ”says his daughter with a broken voice.
In the case of Aldo Rosso another person is involved: Ricardo Albacete. This businessman, also of the third age, was arrested two weeks after having housed the opposition leader, María Corina Machado, at her home in the Táchira state between June 27 and 28. Saab said both received financing from abroad to “destabilize the country.”
«They didn’t even know each other. They met the day of the preliminary audience. They put them in a room and there they stayed. They didn’t know who was who, ”said Jyuli Rosso.
