This Thursday, January 22, the deputy to the National Assembly, Nicolás Maduro Guerra, delivered a letter to the headquarters of the United Nations (UN) to the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, in which he denounces the military aggression carried out by the United States (USA) against Venezuela on January 3, 2026 and the kidnapping of constitutional president Nicolás Maduro Moros and first lady Cilia Flores.

The delivery of the document took place during the Great Mobilization of the health sector, in Caracas, called to demand the release of the head of state and the first lady, where Maduro Guerra thanked the Venezuelan people for their support and the multiple expressions of solidarity.

“It's not a position that moves us, it's dignity and love for this country,” he said, stressing that when President Maduro and Cilia Flores are rescued, Venezuela will make the biggest march to receive them.

In the letter addressed to the High Commissioner and read by the deputy to the AN, they denounce that U.S. military actions flagrantly violate the Charter of the United Nations and international law, recalling that the aggression included bombings against civil and military infrastructure in Caracas and the states of La Guaira, Miranda and Aragua, with more than a hundred victims, including civilians and soldiers.

The document also rejects the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and First Lady Cilia Flores, who were transferred to New York City under conditions that violated their personal integrity, presenting injuries and being treated as highly dangerous prisoners. In addition, it stresses that these events highlight a serious violation of the absolute immunity that protects heads of State in accordance with international law.

For this reason, the letter asks the High Commissioner for a public pronouncement condemning the military aggression and the violation of human rights committed against Venezuela, as well as the rejection of the ignorance of presidential immunity and the demand for the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores .

“We are not going to rest first until we release President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia; second, until we achieve the dream of Hugo Chávez; and Nicolás Maduro, as I told you, is not a position, we are here because we raise the flags of dignity, the flags of sovereignty, the flag that our model must be the model that Venezuelans choose for the prosperity of the Venezuelan family and we are going to return to Nicolás and we are going to win,” said Maduro Guerra after reading the letter.
