WASHINGTON – The United States has condemned the strong terms what it described as killing and torture of Naval Officer, Capitan de Corbeta Rafael Acosta Arévalo, a Venezuelan Naval Officer.
In a statement, the Department of States said Capitan de Corbeta Rafael Acosta Arévalo died in the custody of Maduro’s thugs and their Cuban advisers.
“We express deepest condolences to his family and loved ones”, the statement said, adding this is not the first time the Maduro regime has used violence against its political prisoners.
“We recall clearly the horrifying events of October 8, 2018, when Councilman Fernando Alban was murdered while in regime custody.
“This latest act of Maduro’s barbarism must stir us to action”, the statement added, calling on the democracies of the world to join the United States in condemning this latest violation of human rights and in applying pressure to achieve accountability against the aggressors.
“This senseless killing is continued evidence that Maduro will continue to kill his people, steal from the Venezuelan nation, and lie to the world to stay in Miraflores Palace.
“Let us come together and support the people of Venezuela in their quest for an immediate end to these heinous acts and a restoration of their democracy”, the statement added.
