The Venezuelan minister of defence denounced the US’ human rights abuses at an event marking the founding of the Bolivarian militia corps on April 10.

The US has recently dubbed Venezuelan immigrants as criminals and detained them in El Salvador, which the defence minister described as a violation of elementary human rights.

He expressed his indignation that it was not only an attack on Venezuela but an unethical act that they handcuffed the immigrants just because they were Venezuelans, brought them to another country and imprisoned them without any reasonable ground.

He also condemned the US for imposing new sanctions aimed at stifling the economy of Venezuela and making the country more unstable.
