Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, that's correct. It has been going on like that for the last two years and a half. The worst day—I think it was in January of 2016—was when I was stripped in front of my granddaughter Manuela. She just couldn't believe what she was participating in. You know, for me especially, it's very, very hard to denounce all of these aggressions.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I'm going to answer you, just from the conversation I had with my son Leopoldo on Sunday. He was telling me that he has been in a military prison for the last three and a half years and has had the chance to talk to soldiers, majors, officials; they're the ones who have him in prison.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Why not?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think one of the first questions is that since Chávez started ruling the country, he gave the military different roles. We have the army, we have the national guard, we have the air force, and we have the armada. He started giving the military management responsibilities in the government.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That's correct, yes.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think a future trip to Venezuela by a group of parliamentarians to see the situation on the ground would be very helpful. It should be as soon as possible, because we are in an emergency now. Also, I think it's good to share that we asked the Prime Minister to work hard on the four issues that Lilian just mentioned—calling for a general election, the release of political prisoners, respect for the national assembly, and a humanitarian channel.
