Michelle Bachelet said that if she goes to a country and can not meet with everyone who should meet her function, it would be a failure

 

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, announced on Wednesday that she will send a technical mission to Venezuela next week, which is in deep crisis and faces harsh international sanctions. The government of President Nicolás Maduro maintains a pulse with his adversaries, headed by Juan Guaidó, recognized by dozens of countries as president of the country, for an eventual visit of Bachelet.

Opponents want him to have access to relatives of politicians and military in prison, among others. Maduro says that the OPEC country lives in full democracy and human rights are respected. "Whenever I'm invited to a country, before going to that country, I want to make sure that the conditions guarantee that I can play my role as I should, that I can go and talk to everyone," said the Chilean president in a video on her twitter account "It would be useless to go to a country and once there I could not meet anyone who needs to meet me.

I think it would be a failure of my function, "added the official. Access to the whole world allows "to be sure that I can produce a complete report, not a bias," said the High Commissioner, without giving more details on how many members would be included in the technical commission she will send, or how long she would be in the country or when. I could travel to Caracas. The opposition and groups of activists have denounced serious violations of human rights in Venezuela of police bodies, and that doubtful evidence has been used in judicial cases against opponents.
