MADRID, 4 (EUROPA PRESS)
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) has shown this Friday its “repudiation and condemnation” of the “arbitrary detention” in Venezuela of the Argentine Gendarmerie non-commissioned officer Nahuel Gallo, prosecuted by the Venezuelan authorities for alleged “links with terrorism”.
Thus, the OAS has indicated that Gallo’s detention constitutes a crime against humanity according to the Rome Statute, it is a “clear violation” of international standards and “the fundamental principles of humanity and justice”, and the denial of Consular and legal access violates the treaties on Consular Relations.
“These events are further proof of the systematic violation of fundamental human rights by the Venezuelan regime,” said the General Secretariat of the OAS in a brief statement in which it demands that Caracas comply with international treaties on Human Rights. and international relations.
Gallo was arrested in early December when he was trying to enter Venezuela by land from Colombia to supposedly reunite with his wife of Venezuelan nationality and their daughter. Caracas denies this version and accuses him of an international conspiracy against President Nicolás Maduro.
For his part, the secretary general of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (Alba-TCP), Jorge Arreaza, has criticized these statements.
“The hitman general of the Yankee Ministry of Colonies (OAS) is shameful, his anti-Venezuelan obsession is such that he does not speak out about the terrible crimes of adolescents in Ecuador, but he does do so to support conspiratorial actions against Venezuela (a country that is not member of the OAS),” he noted.
Thus, Arreaza, on his Telegram channel, has asserted that the OAS “needs to guarantee that it continues to be paid well in Washington, as the good imperialist agent and mercenary that it is.”
“Almagro will continue to rummage through the garbage dump of history, from which it will never be able to emerge,” he concluded.
