Honorables:

Congresswoman Ileana Ros Letinen

Congressman Mario Diaz Balart

Congressman Carlos Curbelo

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz

Congresswoman Federica Wilson

And your office.

It is an honor to address you with the opportunity to greet you all and ask the possibility of creating a hearing in the United States congress. This hearing would serve the purpose of assisting organizations, activists and Venezuelan leaders who can aid in exposing the human rights violations in Venezuela. We want to expose the persecution and use of torture to end the opposition resistance, the encarceration of young students and opposition leaders. We would like to get a chance to show the U.S congress the participation of senior and military officials of the Maduro regime in illicit activities such as drug trafficking and international terrorism.  Currently, in Venezuela there are various violations to the democracy charter of the Organization of American States (OAS) in which it is reiterated of the dictatorship that exist. Such dictatorship has placed Venezuela outside of the international realm and has left the citizens within in a state of dangerous helplessness and vulnerability.

It is most important that, in addition to the sanctions that have been placed on Venezuelan officials for violations of human rights, it is known in great detail the participation of other functionaries in illegal activities that destabilize the country and the region.

We are hoping you strongly consider this petition and we await with high anticipation your response, while welcoming any additional ideas you may have.  We thank you for your solidarity with the Venezuelan people. 

With utmost respect, 

Jose Antonio Colina President of the organization of Politically Persecuted Venezuelan’s in Exile (VEPPEX)

Janette González  Director of VEPPEX-USA
