Rubio Calls For Sanctions On Human Rights Violators In Venezuela, Stands With Peaceful Demonstrators
Miami, FL – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who spearheaded passage of the Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Extension Act, issued the following statement today regarding developments in Venezuela:
“Today in Venezuela, opposition leaders and average citizens are scheduled to gather to peacefully protest the Maduro regime’s failed economic policies, its failure to provide basic security for the Venezuelan people, and its ruthless brutality in cracking down on its political opponents, many of whom are now behind bars. This form of expression is the God-given right of every human on the planet, but it has been under assault for years by the regimes of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. Reports out of Venezuela suggest the regime might use deadly force against innocent Venezuelans demonstrating against the miserable reality that Venezuela has become under Maduro.
“The Obama Administration should not only speak out forcefully against such human rights violations in Venezuela, it should also back up its words with real action: sanctions against the corrupt individuals and regime officials who commit crimes and are responsible for this repression. The violence, bloodshed and despotism in Venezuela has gone on for too long, and it’s time the Obama Administration implement a vast and sweeping wave of sanctions on all those who continue to wreck the future of the Venezuelan people.”
RUBIO PIDE SANCIONES PARA LOS VIOLADORES DE DERECHOS HUMANOS EN VENEZUELA, APOYA A LOS MANIFESTANTES PACÍFICOS
Miami, FL – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R -FL), quien lideró la aprobación del Decreto de Defensa de Derechos Humanos y Extensión de la Sociedad Civil Venezolana, emitió hoy el siguiente comunicado con respecto a los acontecimientos en Venezuela:
“Hoy en Venezuela, dirigentes de la oposición y ciudadanos planean reunirse para protestar pacíficamente la fracasada política económica del régimen de Maduro, la falta de seguridad básica para el pueblo venezolano y su brutalidad despiadada en contra de sus opositores políticos, muchos de los cuales están ahora tras las rejas. Esta forma de expresión es un derecho concedido por Dios para cada ser humano, pero ha sido atacada por años por los regímenes de Hugo Chávez y Nicolás Maduro. Informes procedentes de Venezuela indican que el régimen podría utilizar fuerza letal contra los venezolanos inocentes que protesten contra la miserable realidad en la que Venezuela se ha convertido bajo Maduro.
“La administración de Obama no solamente debería hablar enérgicamente contra las violaciones de los derechos humanos en Venezuela, sino también debería respaldar sus palabras con hechos reales: sanciones contra individuos corruptos y oficiales del régimen que cometen crímenes y son responsables por esta represión. La violencia, el derramamiento de sangre y el despotismo se han prolongado por mucho tiempo, y ya es hora que la administración de Obama implemente una vasta y amplia oleada de sanciones a todos aquellos que siguen destruyendo el futuro de los venezolanos”.
