On the 5th, the World Anti-Imperialist Platform and the Anti-US Struggle Headquarters held a solidarity struggle in Seoul, calling for the immediate repatriation of 238 Venezuelans who were arrested in the United States and forcibly transferred to El Salvador.
The secretary of the Seoul City Committee of the People’s Democracy Party (PDP) read out the message of the Venezuelan deputy ambassador.
In a message titled ‘Emigration is not a crime. Sanctions are,’ the deputy ambassador said that Venezuela is calling for the immediate repatriation of more than two hundred young Venezuelans, a case of forced disappearance by the United States of America and El Salvador.
Criticising the US’s application “Foreign Enemy Act”, she added that It is a law that stands for the legal framework of human rights and is outside the legal framework of international law, which complains in a special way.
She argued that Venezuela rejects the stigmatization of Venezuelan migration as “criminals”, and rejects the double standard on migration. The transfer to third countries of citizens deprived of their liberty in the United States, is contrary to previous principles for migration, when it corresponds to repatriation to the country of origin.
Migrants abducted in El Salvador have not committed crimes in that country to be treated as criminals. In the United States, they were also not arrested for committing crimes, only for having tattoos on their skin, she said.
Venezuela denounces the degrading treatment of Venezuelan migrants in the United States of America and in El Salvador, dangerosso Nazi rebirth and slavery are suffocating young Venezuelans in a corceal in El Salvador.
She emphasised that Let us raise our voices to denounce this aberration.
The participants chanted slogans such as ‘We condemn US imperialism for undermining Venezuela’s right to self-determination!’ and ‘The US should lift its unjust sanctions on Venezuela!’
