The Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Relations of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, denounced this Wednesday before the African Union and the Government of Cape Verde, the mistreatment and torture suffered during his arbitrary detention by Alex Saab, Special Envoy of Venezuela:

“Everything has been verified by his lawyers. It is a clear violation of his Human Rights”, warned the Venezuelan Chancellor.

Through his official account on the Twitter social network, @Jaarreaza, the Venezuelan Chancellor pointed out that Venezuela is demanding for Saab to be allowed to receive the immediate visit of a forensic doctor, a prosecutor from the Public Ministry, as well as the Venezuelan ambassador to Cape Verde: “So far these visits have not been authorized. It is a fair and appropriate request”, explained the representative of the Peace Diplomacy.

Likewise, Arreaza said that given the human rights violations suffered by Saab and the notorious deterioration of his health, the corresponding institutions of the State of Cape Verde have been repeatedly requested to grant him a humanitarian measure that allows his home detention.
