The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado described the death of Lindomar Jesús Amaro Bustamante, one of the hundreds of detainees in the country following the reelection of President Nicolás Maduro last July, as a "horrendous crime." For Machado, the death of Amaro Bustamante while in state custody is a very serious event that reflects the lack of respect for human rights in Venezuela.
María Corina Machado expressed her outrage over this situation and emphasized the importance of thoroughly investigating what happened to clarify the circumstances of Amaro Bustamante's death, as well as identifying those responsible for this tragic outcome. The opposition leader stressed the need for justice to be served and the protection of the rights of all individuals detained in the country to be guaranteed.
According to Machado, cases like that of Lindomar Jesús Amaro Bustamante illustrate the serious human rights crisis and the vulnerable situation of prisoners in Venezuela. The opposition leader called on the international community to remain vigilant regarding human rights violations in the country and to support those fighting to restore democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela.
