She is the judge who set free a man who had been held for three years in jail without a trial, without the Fiscal (prosecutor) being able to submit enough evidence for a trial. She found that he should be released because he had been held prisoner longer than what the law permits if a trial is not going on. For that she was promptly arrested, thrown into a dangerous jail and we heard Chavez publicly asking that she be given the maximum sentence: 30 years. This in a country where criminals with established murder records end up in the streets in a matter of months if not weeks.
Can someone translate this:
http://opinion.eluniversal.com/2010/04/28/pol_art_desestiman-cambiar-s_1878773.shtmlThe case has been so outrageous, has displayed so clearly the abuses committed by a judicial system at the service of the regime that it transcended borders loudly, all the way to the IACHR, newspapers, bar associations, etc.... The latest example is a major article in the Washington Post signed by Juan Forero, a former, long ago, apologist of the regime who has turned himself in one a strong critic of Chavez.
Clearly this has upset Chavez and the sycophants that dispense "justice" to his liking. So yesterday Judge Afiuni was dragged from her cell, as a dangerous criminal, hand cuffed all the way through the proceedings, bullet proof vest and dozens of guards around her. For what? To be notified of something that could have been notified to her lawyers.
All a gorilla show of force to demonstrate that Afiuni is a prisoner of Chavez and that he does not give a shit about her rights and those who defend her rights. By extension he also gives his opinion about our own human rights, in particular those of due process.
