Retention of Venezuelan Plane is Imperial Looting: CADPH
On Wednesday, the American Coordinator for the Rights of Peoples and Victims of Prison (CADPH) expressed its repudiation and concern about the retention in Argentina of the plane of the Venezuelan company EMTRASUR and its crew.
“That decision lacks any legal basis… because the plane was not being requested by any commercial aviation regulatory agency, the cargo it was carrying… complied with international regulations on the matter,” CADPH recalled, mentioning that the crew members were not wanted by any international security agency.
Human rights defenders demanded the immediate release of the crew and the return of the plane to the Venezuelan State. They also criticized the Argentinian authorities for allowing a judge to detain the plane and its crew on the basis of questionable criteria.
