The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, called on American Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who is handling the case against President Nicolás Maduro in the United States, to respect international legality and recognize the absolute lack of jurisdiction of his court to prosecute a sovereign head of state.
During the act of notifying the Citizen Power of the new Board of Directors of the National Assembly, the head of the Public Ministry described the extraction of the Venezuelan president as an “international kidnapping” that flagrantly violates international law and the basic principles of diplomatic immunity ratified by the International Court of Justice.
Saab demanded the immediate and unconditional release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, First Lady Cilia Flores, urging the international community to condemn these events, which he described as state terrorism and an affront to the sovereignty of the people.
Likewise, Saab reported that the Public Ministry has appointed three prosecutors to investigate the dozens of civilian and military casualties that occurred during the US aggression against Venezuela on January 3, calling the events “war crimes.”
He denounced that this armed incursion, carried out in a cowardly and criminal manner by the American forces, represents the first aggression by a foreign power against Venezuelan soil in more than 200 years.
The head of the Public Ministry also expressed the recognition and unrestricted support of the Citizen Power and the Republican Moral Council for the appointment of Delcy Rodríguez as president in charge of Venezuela.
