Venezuela demands in France release of its diplomat Alex Saab

Venezuela Alex-Saab-1
Paris, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) The Venezuelan embassy in France today hosted a solidarity meeting to demand release of diplomat Alex Saab, whose kidnapping in the United States is denounced by Caracas.

On the occasion of the first anniversary of the extradition of the special envoy of the Venezuelan government from Cape Verde, where he was detained, to the United States, the headquarters presented the documentary “Alex Saab, a kidnapped diplomat”, which addresses details of the case and the mission he was carrying out.

The 45-minute material, made by journalist Karen Méndez, exposes the impact of US sanctions on the population of the South American country and Saab’s activities to import food and fuel to help alleviate the consequences of the blockade.

The Charge d’Affaires (ad interim) of Venezuela in France, Nathalie dos Santos, thanked those present for their solidarity and denounced the irregularities in the case, from his capture to his sendingt to US territory.

October 16 marked the first anniversary of Saab’s second kidnapping, as he had previously been illegally detained in Cape Verde, violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, she stressed.

On behalf of her country, dos Santos repudiated the maneuvers and considered them an example of ‘Lawfare’ (legal war) or instrumentalization of justice against people who oppose imperial interests.
