This meeting will now come to order.
Today, November 25, 2014, marks the 45th meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
We're televised.
Today we are returning to a subject that has occupied this committee in the past, that of course is the issue of human rights in Venezuela.
We have with us today two witnesses who will be discussing the issue of arbitrary detention in that country and of the impediments that face opponents of the excesses of the regime. Lilian Tintori, will be here to talk about her husband Leopoldo López and Jared Genser will also be talking.
I understand, Ms. Tintori, you'll be speaking first and Mr. Genser will follow afterwards.
We invite you to begin your testimony.
