MILITARY COURT DICTATES IMPRISONMENT TO TRADE UNION LEADER - VENEZUELA
THE VENEZUELAN DICTATORSHIP CONTINUES TO JUDGE VENEZUELAN CITIZENS WHO DARE TO PROTEST FOR DEMANDING THEIR RIGHTS AND CLAIMS
A military court in Maturín, Monagas state, ordered custody of Rubén González, general secretary of the Trade Union of Workers of Ferrominera (Sintraferrominera), and ordered his detention in the Monagas State Judicial Confinement Center, better known as La Jail. Pica, after completing the presentation hearing held this Friday night.
The union leader was charged with charges of attacking the sentry, insulting the sentry and insulting the National Armed Forces. The arrest of González was executed by the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) during the early hours of Thursday, November 29, at a checkpoint in Anaco, Anzoátegui state.
González returned to Bolívar after participating in a workers march held in the Plaza Morelos in Caracas. The secretary general of Sintraferrominera was accused of assaulting a group of soldiers on August 14, during a workers' meeting held at the Ferrominera gate in Ciudad Piar.
The kidnapping of Guyanese union leader Rubén González is an indication that the desperation of the regime's gorillas is increasing every day, for silencing dissident voices through kidnapping, torture and finally death, but all this indicates that the end of this dictatorship is very close.
The cause that follows the union leader Ferrominero since August 2018, due to events that occurred at Ferrominera de Cdad Plant. Piar, and for which weighed an arrest warrant, for the crime "Ultraje al Centinela", foreseen in the Organic Code of Military Justice.
In this case this form of justice does not apply, because this crime only occurs when there are attacks on the military, fulfilling military functions, and its cause is followed by the military tribunals of the Republic, but according to Venezuelan Legislation, it can not be imputed to civilians, when there is a confrontation of military officers in public order functions and containment of said labor protests. Likewise, it is unconstitutional to judge civilians in military courts.
Only in countries where the democratic system works, these actions are inconceivable or would they fall under their own weight. And what we are seeing shows the totalitarian and undemocratic nature of the Government in Venezuela.
THE DETENTION OF RUBEN GONZALES, Secretary General of Ferrominera, is nothing more than a maneuver to dismantle the struggles of the working class in Guyana. But those workers are very clear about their class consciousness. Go ahead, mates. The struggle continues.
