5. Various of human rights activist Rafael Uzcategui
6. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Rafael Uzcátegui, Human Rights Activist:
"So the victims and the organizations always went to these officers (from the UN's Human Rights High Commissioner's office), so that they could intercede with the authorities in the face of any abuse of power. And many of these situations were resolved in favor of the people who were being victimized. So, unfortunately, with this decision that they are leaving and that this working relationship with them is cut off, or at least momentarily, it puts us in a situation of defenselessness, of orphanhood, not only for the defenders but also for the whole Venezuelan society."
7. Various of General Coordinator of Human Rights NGO Provea (Venezuelan Program of Education Action in Human Rights) Oscar Murillo
8. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Oscar Murillo, Provea General Coordinator:
"This presence (of a UN's office) in a country where the deficit in human rights is great, is very large for two reasons, because the justice system is not activated for the benefit and in favor of the citizens and because the nature of the government in Venezuela today is authoritarian. It ends up overriding the rest of the powers. When this happens, the citizen is in a situation of legal vulnerability, then in this situation there is a need for mediation entities formally accredited by the Venezuelan state. In this case, we mean the office that will cease to be in Venezuela in the next 48 hours."
9. Various of Murillo speaking
10. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Oscar Murillo, Provea General Coordinator:
"It seems that the simulation has reached its final point, the simulation of being in good standing with international human rights organizations, for example the United Nations, having an office here gives you the diplomatic lobby to say, 'I am complying, I am here, I open the doors so that this office can do its work,' But it seems that this is not very acceptable either, nor is it very tolerable that human rights organizations continue denouncing despite the threats made by high government spokespersons, so it seems that this is trying to put us in a very narrow alley."
11. Various of people walking in a street
STORYLINE:
After the Venezuelan government decided to suspend the operations of a U.N. office on human rights and gave its staff 72 hours to leave the country, Human Rights activists are concerned regarding the uncertainty that the closure leaves behind.
Human Rights activist Rafael Uzcategui leads the NGO Laboratorio de Paz (peace laboratory), an 'action center for Peace, Human Rights, participation and Democracy in Venezuela,' said that having the local UN's Human Rights office led to successfully helping victims of police abuse and corruption.
"The victims and the organizations always went to these officers so that they could intercede with the authorities in the face of any abuse of power," said Uzcategui.
"It puts us in a situation of defenselessness, of orphanhood, not only for the defenders, but also for the whole Venezuelan society," he added.

STORYLINE:
Venezuela’s government on Thursday ordered the local U.N. office on human rights to suspend operations and gave its staff 72 hours to leave, accusing the office of promoting opposition to the South American country.
Foreign Affairs Minister Yván Gil announced the decision at a news conference in Caracas, the capital.
Gil’s announcement came on the heels of the detention of human rights attorney Rocio San Miguel, which set off a wave of criticism inside and outside the South American country.
Gil claimed the office, the local technical advisory office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, had been used by the international community “to maintain a discourse” against Venezuela.
It was not immediately clear if the Venezuelan government had notified the United Nations directly of its order to close the office.
The U.N. office was established in Caracas in September 2019.
San Miguel was taken into custody Friday at the airport near Caracas while she and her daughter awaited a flight to Miami. Authorities did not acknowledge her detention until Sunday, and as of Wednesday, her attorney had not been allowed to meet with her.
Attorney General Tarek William Saab earlier in the week said she is being held at the Helicoide prison, an infamous institution for political prisoners.
San Miguel’s daughter, ex-husband, two brothers and former partner also were detained following her arrest. Of them, only her former partner remains in custody.

It is an office created to collaborate technically with the Venezuelan state to improve, to optimize the whole matter of human rights protection in Venezuela and to show the world the attachment of the Venezuelan government. But it has been instrumentalized to be a sounding board for the Venezuelan extreme right-wing opposition."

STORYLINE:
Venezuela’s government on Thursday ordered the local U.N. office on human rights to suspend operations and gave its staff 72 hours to leave, accusing the office of promoting opposition to the South American country.
Foreign Affairs Minister Yván Gil announced the decision at a news conference in Caracas, the capital.
Gil’s announcement came on the heels of the detention of human rights attorney Rocio San Miguel, which set off a wave of criticism inside and outside the South American country.
Gil claimed the office, the local technical advisory office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, had been used by the international community “to maintain a discourse” against Venezuela.
It was not immediately clear if the Venezuelan government had notified the United Nations directly of its order to close the office.
The U.N. office was established in Caracas in September 2019.
San Miguel was taken into custody Friday at the airport near Caracas while she and her daughter awaited a flight to Miami. Authorities did not acknowledge her detention until Sunday, and as of Wednesday, her attorney had not been allowed to meet with her.
Attorney General Tarek William Saab earlier in the week said she is being held at the Helicoide prison, an infamous institution for political prisoners.
San Miguel’s daughter, ex-husband, two brothers and former partner also were detained following her arrest. Of them, only her former partner remains in custody.
