International Criminal Court prosecutors on Monday said that they are actively monitoring events in Venezuela, where security forces have launched a crackdown on the opposition in the aftermath of the nation’s disputed presidential election.
Forces loyal to President Nicolás Maduro have rounded up more than 2000 people for demonstrating against the president or casting doubt on his claims that he won a third term in the July 28 election despite strong evidence he lost the vote by a more than two-to-one margin.
In a statement, the office of ICC said the Government of Venezuela has been engaged at the highest-level to underline the importance of ensuring that the rule of law is adhered to in the present moment and emphasize that all persons must be protected from violations.
