Foro Penal alerta: 17 muertos bajo el régimen de Maduro Alfredo Romero, president of Foro Penal, asserts the Venezuelan State’s direct responsibility for the death of opposition leader Alfredo Díaz, who died in detention after over a year without adequate medical care or communication. Romero states that political prisoners are entirely under governmental control, making any death attributable to the state’s custody and neglect. This case is presented as part of a documented pattern of 17 political prisoner deaths in custody since 2014, with similar cases like General Raúl Isaías Baduel and Salvador Franco, potentially constituting crimes against humanity evaluated by the International Criminal Court.

• Alfredo Romero, president of Foro Penal, attributes the death of opposition leader Alfredo Díaz to the direct responsibility of the State.
• Díaz died in detention at El Helicoide after more than a year, reportedly of a heart attack, but without access to independent medical aid or defense.
• Foro Penal documents that 17 political prisoners have died in custody since 2014, many under the Nicolás Maduro regime, suggesting a systematic scheme.
• Past emblematic cases include General Raúl Isaías Baduel and Salvador Franco, who also died in custody after denied medical attention.
• Romero argues that the repeated pattern of political imprisonment, incommunicado detention, and deaths under state control constitutes a possible crime against humanity for the International Criminal Court. https://nicaragua-hub.syndichain.com/articles/62c1c1d8-04a8-4365-83bd-ba03cac6a599 https://foropenal.com/foro-penal-alerta-17-muertos-bajo-el-regimen-de-maduro-en-conexion-tv-con-cesar-miguel-rondon/
