Venezuela’s attorney general has denied the forced disappearance of human rights activist Rocío San Miguel and warned that lying is a crime.
“In the case of Rocío San Miguel, on Monday, February 12, within the appropriate time limits established by law and with strict respect for human rights and constitutional guarantees, a hearing on the application was held (…) with an arrest warrant. It is impossible, then, “to say that in this case there was a cruel and terrible quality of enforced disappearances, which we condemn and do not accept,” Tarek William Saab said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The official explained that an enforced disappearance “is literally the abduction of a person who does not appear to be in custody, who is not reported to be detained, who is not present in court, and who ends up disappearing.”
