@NicolasMaduro @carlosvecchio General Directorate of Military Counter-Intelligence visited the headquarters of Azul Positivo, on 1/12/21. They arrested Johan León Reyes, Yordy Bermúdez, Layners Gutiérrez Díaz, Alejandro Gómez Di Maggio, Miguel Guerra Raydan, and Luis Ferrebuz.
Azul Positivo is a non-governmental and humanitarian organization that since 2004 works to promote inclusion, understanding and treatment to HIV+ patients, as well as sexually transmitted infections, diversity and sexual violence.
Since 2006, they have developed community-based projects in various towns and cities in Zulia State (Western Venezuela). Through their work, they have contributed to the work of state public health entities, such as the National Service of Medicine and Forensic Sciences,
the Regional AIDS Programme and the Ministry of Health. They have also been an ally of United Nations System agencies such as UNAIDS, UNHCR and UNFPA, implementing projects on the border with Colombia on sexual and reproductive health.
On 1/14/21, Johan León Reyes, Yordy Bermúdez, Layners Gutiérrez Díaz, Alejandro Gómez Di Maggio, Miguel Guerra Raydan & Luis Ferrebuz were formally charged with trumped up crimes, namely unlawful acquisition of goods & services, money laundering and association to commit crimes.
They are under restrictions, solely because of their peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of association. They are prisoners of conscience and I appeal to you to immediately and unconditionally stop the prosecution of the staff of Azul Positivo.
