Representatives from the Primero Justicia party went today to the Attorney General’s/Prosecutors office to denounce the kidnapping and torturing of three of its leaders. According to them, two of their leaders were kidnapped after the Mayor of Baruta, a municipality within Caracas, was ordered captured by the Prosecutors’ office. The two men were missing for two days and they were asked to reveal the whereabouts of Capriles as well as information about other leaders.
The men were kidnapped by eight men in a cab, who presumably belonged to the political police DISIP. Among the tortures used were the spraying strong insecticides inside their mouths, placing bags over their heads, hot pipes under the arms, they were hung from the ceiling; they were rolled inside a mattress and hit them with bats.
The two were released last night.
