Lawyer Tamara Suju denounced that since April 20, political prisoners Jefferson Dos Ramos (Paramacay case), Geomer Martínez Natera and Andrés Paredes Soler (Cotiza case), and Daniel Crespo were prohibited from visiting their relatives. They are currently in a punishment cell “vomiting and passing blood”
The director of the Casla Institute, Tamara Suju, denounced that four military political prisoners, held in Fort Guaicaipuro (Miranda), are isolated in a punishment cell and incommunicado from their families.
The lawyer and human rights defender stated, in a message posted on social media, that this group is “vomiting and passing blood” due to health problems. When they requested their transfer to a medical center, the soldiers were locked in a punishment cell.
Since last April 20, Lieutenant Jefferson Dos Ramos (Paramacay case), Sergeants Geomer Martínez Natera and Andrés Paredes Soler (Cotiza case), and National Guard enlisted Daniel Crespo were prohibited from visiting their families. They barely receive a three and a half minute phone call every 15 days or more.

Political prisoners also do not receive the medications that their relatives deliver as part of the package. “There’s nothing that says they’re okay.”
Suju pointed out that Major General Luis Ojeda Araujo, general director of the Military Penitentiary Service, was directly responsible for this situation. “His relatives fear for their lives.”
The group was transferred – along with nine other soldiers imprisoned for political reasons – on February 18 from the Ramo Verde prison to the Maximum Security System Service (Sesma), which operates in the Fort Guaicaipuro facilities, after their complaints about a violent search.
