Bachelet said that the UN Office of Human Rights continues to "investigate the allegations of possible extrajudicial executions carried out by the security forces of Venezuela."
"In 2018, at least 205 deaths attributed to the Faes were reported. Another 37 people were allegedly killed in the month of January 2019 in Caracas. Apparently, some of these murders have occurred according to a similar pattern, occur during illegal house searches carried out by the Faes, and later these bodies notify the death as a result of an armed confrontation, although the witnesses declare that the victims did not carry weapons some, "he said.
He maintained that "in certain cases, the relatives of the victims reported that the Attorney General's office had refused to initiate investigations against members of the agency. Most people lived in poor neighborhoods and had participated in anti-government protests. "
"I am concerned about the reports that indicate that operations of this type are used as a form of reprisal and intimidation," Bachelet emphasized.
