The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) will hold a hearing on June 17th regarding the extrajudicial killings of Óscar Pérez, a former police officer, and his team. The case centers on the events of “El Junquito,” where Pérez and several others were killed in a raid by Venezuelan security forces in 2018. Representatives from the Foro Penal, a Venezuelan human rights organization, and the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center will present details of the incident to the court. The hearing will examine allegations of a massacre and potential human rights violations. This case seeks to establish accountability for the deaths and address concerns about due process and the use of force by state agents. The IACtHR’s proceedings could lead to rulings on state responsibility and reparations for victims. The details of the case were originally reported by TalCual.
