Antonio Rosich, the director of NGO Foro Penal Venezolano (Venezuelan Penal Forum), said that the institution would file three specific complaints following the arrest of lawyer José Rafael Parra Saluzzo and judge Afiuni Mora.

The NGO, along with the Venezuelan Bar Association, will file a complaint before the UN Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights on the persecution of lawyers and attorneys. They will also request the UN agency to send urgently a commission to verify the loss of independence of the Judiciary.

On the other hand, they will ask the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) for a preliminary injunction in favor of the rights of all the lawyers involved in the case of businessman Eligio Cedeño, as well as information on the condition of lawyer José Rafael Parra Saluzzo following his arbitrary arrest in the headquarters of the Directorate for Intelligence, Security, and Prevention (Disip).
