Publisher's Synopsis
"The report, 'Unchecked Power: Police and Military Raids in Low-Income and Immigrant Communities in Venezuela,' covers allegations of abuses during public security operations carried out nationwide, beginning in July 2015, as part of the 'Operation to Liberate and Protect the People' (OLP), which was billed as an operation to combat criminal gangs. A common denominator in all the cases, and in other cases of government abuses PROVEA and Human Rights Watch have documented over past decade, is the extent to which the victims--or their families--have felt they have nowhere to turn for redress or for protection of their fundamental rights"--Publisher's. description.
