Venezuela: For Fernando Albán and state terrorism
Venezuelans have witnessed an ominous dark event in which the national government is directly linked. She died at the headquarters of SEBIN Councilman and member of Primero Justicia, Fernando Albán, and then all the facts, statements and surrounding environments thrive in an environment suspected frames and turbid. Surprisingly, a few hours after this terrible event occurred, a senior government official, as is the Minister of Interior and Justice Nestor Reverol, He said that Albán committed suicide, immediately ruling out any other possible causes of death. [1] What role could meet prosecutors appointed to investigate, and if the Minister of Interior and Justice exposes the result of it before?
Fernando Albán was out of the country. He arrived at Maiquetia on Saturday 6 October and was immediately arrested by the SEBIN. From that moment he could not access the defense by his lawyers, was not brought before any court or Tribunal as established by Venezuelan law and no family could contact him.
On the afternoon of Monday the Attorney General, Tareck William Saab, It announces that the incident occurred while the individual was in the bathroom and expresses suicide as draft, [2] Reverol rule suspect minutes later to confirm that indeed occurred suicide but changing the place of the alleged events (SEBIN waiting room). [3]
See all this panorama of the last hours ago darkest history and emerge more questions than answers: What is the official version? Does Saab or the Reverol? Why so quickly on so delicate a fact? Why their relatives could not contact since this arrived in Venezuela? The crimes for which he was charged had to do with the attempt to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro, including terrorism, treason, frustrated homicide in the person of the President and the military high command and conspiracy " [4], It is considered by the state as a highly dangerous individual.
Under this context: Can we take for certain the official version? How is it that someone accused of terrorist imprisoned in a high security institution, in the work schedule, It has been thrown out of a window Floor 10 without anyone interfering? How does this kind of neglect occurs in state security structures? Perhaps you can justify that it is correct to omit the due process because it is a subject who is accused of treason?
Immediately communication apparatus proceeded to manipulate the facts seeded matrices polarized and derogatory. [5] By perverse maneuvers intended to install matrices social networks like "Julio Borges is responsible", and the official media is to justify any action done or committed, assuming that Albán was "terrorist".
All with the clear intention to divert attention from the serious violations that may eventually involve this terrible event. The central point through the fact that an elected public official was kidnapped by the SEBIN, and past the 20 hours of their arrest without having had any contact with relatives or defense counsel he dies in one of the most questioned in human rights violations which is already known as the "grave" state institutions.
It is worth remembering the case of Fabricio Ojeda, also caught in a state security institution (QUALIFICATIONS, Information Service of the Armed Forces) where 21 June 1966 the government of Raul Leoni said that Ojeda had committed suicide (Hangman) in his cell. Similarly everything became stormy and their families and relatives completely ruled out the possibility of suicide. Beyond represent opposing political and ideological trends and occur in completely different contexts, In both cases the entire responsibility lies with the state and its institutions, because as stated in the constitutional legal framework, It is the State body responsible for ensuring security, personal integrity and dignity of those who are in custody.
We warn that this event is not isolated. Just enough to recount events in recent months to realize that the fissured Venezuelan institutions, which it has been divided between economic groups (formal and informal), It is implemented by mechanisms "Shock Therapy" [6] a systematic policy of terror, intimidation, selective repression, persecution and violation of bodily integrity and psycho-emotional subjects to consider as enemies. A well-designed and diffuse policy to generate confusion and fear in the population.
Multiple and permanent complaints of execution by security agencies (FIELD, SEBIN, among others) against residents of popular areas [7], They are a clear sign that the state assumes based on a highly discriminatory and racial criteria killer "justice" in his hands and he deems necessary, thus bypassing laws, due process and relevant judicial structures.
The arrest of National Guardsmen in Apure to denounce precarious conditions in their workplace or fire in Merida by comparing Maduro with a donkey [8] evidence of the harassment of groups or individuals who contravene the official narrative with blunt complaints or even the use of humor. Despite the controversial case, because it is an individual clearly involved in illegal and criminal matters, cremation without authorization José Antonio Colina, alias "El Picure", [9] It shows that these state agencies are willing to violate religious or spiritual beliefs to hide information or to apply the so-called "settling of accounts".
It is even pertinent to recall the murder of Aldrin Torres, PSUV activist and former deputy of the Legislative Council of the state Bolivar coming systematically denouncing irregular situations in Callao, Tumeremo and other mining areas, as a sign of a political assassination that seek to dilute as a simple gangland crime; the latter with the full intention of omitting the direct or indirect relationship between the so-called "Pranato Minero" and formal bodies (subject or instances of FANB and / or government). Examples abound to continue revealing the authoritarian government.
On the death of Albán, We demand a transparent and independent investigation, involving the relatives of the victim and independent institutions, the results must be publicly exposed to citizenship. Otherwise the truth will remain hidden and continue to victims of media manipulation and disinformation campaigns.
By last, we express our indignation at what happened. We understand and share the pain of the relatives of Albán and shock still going through major sectors of Venezuelan society. Understanding and being part of this feeling clarify that in spite of the deep political and ideological differences we have and continue to have with the organization Primero Justicia, We recognize and respect at all times the constitutional rights of each of its members, even their leaders. The same applies to all the leaders of the current government, responsible for humanitarian and environmental catastrophe that is suffering the country. We call on the Venezuelan people to continue denouncing these and other atrocities and to organize autonomously to withstand the onslaughts of adjustment and authoritarianism perpetrated by the National Executive.
However painful and outrageous that the situation is our response to state terrorism can not be isolated, reactionary, or avant-garde. This kind of anti-democratic and reactionary responses speeches mobilizations negatively affected 2017, In four months they were defeated. It should see the history of our neighboring country, Colombia, in which a political genocide occurred against organized opposition in the Patriotic Union in which they killed thousands of leaders. The Colombian government ended up recognizing its link in the crime several decades later. [10]
A submerged population hatred, resentment and political polarization is the stage at which betting totalitarian regimes and anti-democratic and ultra-conservative sectors as the presidential candidate in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, without any embarrassment he stated that "the error of the dictatorship was torturing and killing not". a policy of war that is functional to power and the racketeering is encouraged, and apply the same anti-popular measures of adjustment and anti-worker, as another expression of state terrorism, whose major consequences are mainly workers suffer, starvation wages and a general framework aiming to depose setbacks rights achieved in years of labor struggles.
A) Yes, It has occurred in Colombia for decades and so it could happen here. Let us not allow this policy to be finally consolidated in Venezuela. Demos overturn ways to resist and Sticking to the Herculean task of joining the Venezuelan people for dignity, in defense of human rights and the construction of a new national project in which full freedom to say what one thinks there, respect for the political positions and beliefs within a secular state, and where democracy prevails and popular prominence to any sector that seeks to impose its unique worldview.
