Venezuela crisis: UN says security forces killed hundreds
BBC UK ^ | 22 June 2018 | none stated

Posted on 06/26/2018 3:09:06 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

The UN Human Rights Office alleges that extra-judicial killings were carried out by officers involved with the Operations for the Liberation of the People, ostensibly a crime-reduction initiative.

These officers may have killed more than 500 people since July 2015 as a way to showcase crime-reduction results, it says. They are alleged to have faked evidence to make it look as though the victims died in exchanges of fire.

UN investigators have been denied access to Venezuela. They made their findings from interviews with about 150 witnesses and victims contacted through "internet-based technologies", the report says.

A number of interview with exiles were also held in Geneva, it adds. Some of the other evidence comes from former Attorney General Luisa Ortega. She was fired by Mr Maduro last year and went into exile.

The report says that under her replacement, investigations into allegations of abuses have virtually stopped.

progressives —> liberals —> socialists —> commies —> khmer rouge style genocides. That’s “progress” for progressives. Every time.

From the recent article in ‘Ciudad Magazine,’ 6-25-18.

Loosely translated:

“The rebel side of the actor Sean Penn The United States declares himself openly Marxist, Revolutionary and Socialist.”

Another great victory for socialism comrades! Look at all those filthy Kulaks, Wreckers, Capitalist Roters and Running Dogs who escaped from the 1930’s Soviet Union and 1960s China to wreck the glorious Bolivarian Socialist People’s Republic of Venezuela! Now that they’ve been liquidated, I’m sure it will be smooth sailing from here on - y’know like it was in the Soviet Union and Red China.

Murdering their own people.

It’s always the first thing the communists do. And also the last.
