The sectoral vice president for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, welcomed the nationals last night at the Simon Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetia, La Guaira state (north), who were lodged in the illegal naval base in Guantánamo, Cuba.

By means of an agreement between the Bolivarian Republic and the governments of the United States and Honduras, the Venezuelan migrants were picked up by a Conviasa airline plane in the Central American country and transferred to their homeland.

This is the second group returning to Venezuela, after two flights from Texas, United States, brought 190 of them last week, who have already been reunited with their families.

When receiving his compatriots at the air terminal, Cabello commented on the efforts of President Nicolas Maduro to bring back the Venezuelans who were unjustly sent to Guantánamo, as acknowledged in a dispatch issued by the Foreign Ministry.

He stated that these citizens were victims of the hate media campaign against Venezuela, they had to leave and now ‘they are coming out of hell, because Guantánamo is hell’, he assured.

The whole world knows the conditions prevailing in that prison, he said. He affirmed that those who are returning to their country will be treated as human beings and those who have pending accounts with justice will answer before the courts, but those who do not and were imprisoned there, ‘now freedom is coming, they are coming out of hell’, he added.

Those who arrived last night, like the first group, were received by multidisciplinary teams who provided them with health care, legalization and then transferred them to comfortable places from where they will be transferred to their families.

The Minister for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace discarded that there is any gesture of impunity and emphasized that whoever has any file or open case will be brought to justice.
