Global Protests Across 150 Cities
Venezuelans in South Florida joined thousands of others around the world in calling for the international community to step in and investigate what they describe as crimes against humanity happening in their country. The protests were part of a global movement, with demonstrations taking place in more than 150 cities worldwide.
Symbols of Resistance
Protestors attended a rally in Doral, Florida, wearing red lipstick and scarves as symbols of resistance. Others had a red hand smeared over their faces, representing the silence imposed by the Maduro regime.
ICC Meetings Underway
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is currently holding a week-long meeting in the Netherlands, starting on Monday. Venezuelan opposition leaders have expressed concerns that the agenda prioritizes other topics, including issues that do not appear to include Venezuela.
Opposition Leaders Speak Out
"We’ve been waiting a long time for them to issue an arrest warrant for Nicolás Maduro. What more proof do they need? There is so much proof of the crimes committed by his regime," said Maria Teresa Morin, a representative of the opposition group Comando Con Venezuela.
Detention of Political Prisoners
Opposition leaders denounce the detention of more than 2,000 political prisoners, who are subject to inhumane treatment and an unfair judicial process. "They asked us for a peaceful solution in Venezuela and that’s what we did. We won the election fairly," said Jose Prusza, a prominent opposition leader.
Conclusion
The protests in South Florida and around the world are a clear indication of the widespread concern about the situation in Venezuela. The international community must take action to hold the Maduro regime accountable for its actions and ensure that justice is served.
