Victims of Venezuela's Right-Wing violence take case to OAS

Victims of Venezuela's Right-Wing violence take case to OAS

Advocates for the victims of this year’s Venezuelan right-wing opposition violence have visited the Organization of American States to demand justice for their relatives.

The Committee of Guarimba Victims delivered a detailed document explaining the crimes against their loved ones. They demand that the perpetrators of the wave of violence do not go unpunished by the international community.

From February this year, at least 43 people were killed in the wave of right-wing violence. Many fatalities were caused by barricades made up of barbed wire which motorcycle drivers crashed into. Others were killed by gunshots.

The large majority of the international and mainstream media portrayed the Guarimbas as government-perpetrated. This group of victims are determined to expose the truth.

I'm sure there are a lot more of those than the ones hurt by barricades.
