DW: Venezuela's army death squads kill thousands — UN
A UN report has detailed the extrajudicial executions of thousands of young men by special forces. The report says that the death squads are carrying out President Maduro's strategy for neutralizing political opponents.
Venezuelan security forces have been sending death squads to commit extrajudicial killings of young men, according to a United Nations report released on Thursday. The crime scenes are then staged to make it look like the victims were resisting arrest.
Caracas has said that about 5,287 people died last year when they refused to be detained by officers, and that this has been the case for a further 1,569 through the middle of May this year. However, the UN report suggests that many of these deaths were actually extrajudicial executions.

Nice the UN is exposing the maduro method of governing. Now will they get it together, after all the name says, The United Nations. I'm of the opinion there are too many third world self-congratulators in there to start turning up the flame on this character. Maybe obama and the cadaverous johnny k can demonstrate they are on the Venezuelans' side. We've got you covered, they said as they volunteered with others to load a Maduro's navy transport ship with TP, not knowing the ship was in drydock and belonged to The Bank of China anyway for not making the payments on the mortgage. Hey. It's the thought that counts.
