Although the NGO did not detail how many prisoners are participating in the protest or the number of soldiers held in Ramo Verde, data from Foro Penal, which monitors political prisoners in Venezuela, points to 154 soldiers arrested in the country.
Less than 48 hours ago, Nicolás Maduro was shaking hands with the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan. Together they signed a document confirming the installation of an ICC office in Venezuelawithin the framework of an investigation led by the entity to determine responsibility for crimes against humanity committed in the country.
Despite the presence of the ICC in Venezuela, the rights of political prisoners, both civilian and military, are undermined every day, regardless of the visits by representatives of international organizations.
Relatives of political prisoners denounced after the visit of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Austrian Volker Türk, at the end of January, that the abuses against the prisoners increased.
While these complaints accumulate, the Chavismo authorities promote a narrative of normality within the prisons. The Minister of Penitentiary Services, Mirelys Contreras, has toured Ramo Verde with the intention of “verifying the decent conditions of confinement and the guarantee of human rights”, but the relatives denounce a completely different reality.
