Havana, April 1 (RHC)-- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez stated on his X account that the kidnapping of Venezuelan migrants and any other citizens and their expulsion to third countries by the United States is an atrocious act.

On Tuesday, the foreign minister criticized these processes carried out against people "without trial, defense, or sanction from a competent court," while also describing them as cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.

The day before, the Venezuelan government called the kidnapping of migrants from the Bolivarian nation in El Salvador "a crime against humanity."

Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab said that these individuals were previously criminalized and stigmatized without any basis for trial.  During a press conference in Caracas, the Venezuelan attorney general explained that if no crime had been committed and deportation were to be appropriate, there is also a rule established by the United Nations, which "establishes dependence on that body for them to be brought to Venezuela." 

Saab denounced that this constitutes a crime against humanity because all the conditions contemplated, consulted, and recorded in the Rome Statute are present, so that "an action of this magnitude can be classified as a crime against humanity."
