Why: To demand the immediate release of Alex Saab, kidnapped Venezuelan diplomat
|
|
| Alex Saab, Venezuelan diplomat illegally seized and imprisoned by the US government has for what it considers a “violation” of the US economic warfare on Venezuela. He was in fact assisting Venezuela in legally working around the US blockade by finding the means to import food, medicine, and materials for the Venezuelan oil industry.
Saab is currently being held in Florida where he faces trial. The US government is seeking to coerce Alex Saab into disclosing the methods Venezuela uses to circumvent the US-Canadian-European sanctions with the goal of further tightening the economic blockade and suffering on the Venezuelan people. These sanctions are illegal according to the United Nations.
His seizure by the US violates long-standing international law for one country to arrest and imprison a diplomat of another country. Alex Saab’s next trial date will be in Atlanta the week of April 4th.
