Chilean Senate Calls for Maduro Arrest Warrant

The Casla Institute has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Nicolás Maduro and senior officials in his government, citing widespread crimes against humanity in Venezuela, including torture and arbitrary detentions. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan Public Ministry has summoned opposition presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia for a third time regarding an investigation into electoral fraud allegations, threatening an arrest warrant if he fails to appear. Concurrently, the Chilean Senate has unanimously passed a resolution urging President Gabriel Boric to request an ICC arrest warrant against Maduro, linking it to the ongoing human rights violations following the contested July 28 elections. Maduro's regime faces international condemnation for its repressive tactics, which have resulted in numerous deaths and detentions. The allegations of electoral fraud and human rights abuses are fueling calls for accountability from both national and international bodies. The situation highlights a critical moment in Venezuelan politics as opposition groups and foreign governments seek justice against the Maduro administration.
