Jocelyn Carrizales Calls For the Release of Igbert Marin Chaparro

After being arbitrarily imprisoned, tortured and kept in isolation for most of the time since March 2018, in December, 2020, Venezuelan Lt. Colonel Igbert Marín Chaparro was arbitrarily sentenced to 7 years and six months without any evidence other than "suspicion" from a former military academy schoolmate.

After being sentenced, Marín Chaparro was initially transferred to the Ramo Verde Military Prison but subsequently returned to the dungeons of the Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM). In this video, his wife, attorney Yocelyn Carrizales offers a powerful and moving testimony on the cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment that his husband: Lt. Colonel Marín Chaparro has endured in prison and the human cost to his two children and family. Her 8 years old son can't understand why his father who got the highest academic grades in Venezuela's military history is imprisoned.

Marin Chaparro has been subjected to the worst psychological and physical tortures, denied medical attention for his hypertension and deliberately infected with COVID-19 in prison leaving him with serious health effects.

Democratic Spaces joins Jocelyn Carrizales in demanding the immediate release of Igbert Marín Chaparro.
