UN requested to investigate Judge Aponte's confession
Human Rights Foundation (HRF) forwarded a complaint letter and a report to the United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers
The former magistrate, in a recent affidavit administered in Costa Rica, avowed to his involvement in several events concerning manipulation of the judiciary by the Executive Office against Venezuelan dissenters.
The human rights advocate explored the most relevant and recent events regarding the "serious conditions of submission of the judiciary to the Executive branch of government of Venezuela," stated a press release.
"Dependability and professional integrity of ex Judge Aponte are virtually nil due to his own confessions about his performance at the judicature. Obviously, he is capable of everything, an opportunist, a scoundrel," commented Thor Halvorssen, the president of HRF.
