Democratic countries and human rights organizations around the world have long highlighted the mass crimes of his regime, violence, torture, oppression, violations of all basic freedoms, stolen elections, and the destruction of democracy and the rule of law. The people of Venezuela must have a chance for a normal life, security, prosperity, and human dignity. We will continue to support their right to such normalcy, respect, and freedom
