At least 25 people died in the two days following Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election, Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab said Monday during a Defense Council meeting.
Saab carried out an assessment of the “violence” surrounding the protests that began in the country after the National Electoral Council (CNE) declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner of the election, although the results have not yet been published.
Venezuela’s attorney general said two of the 25 dead were Bolivarian National Guard personnel, one registered in Aragua and the other in Nueva Esparta.
“All of these deaths can be attributed to criminal groups instrumentalized by the so-called commandos,” said Saab. “What we are saying, I insist, is supported by 31 types of expert assessments carried out,” which include technical inspection of the site, technical inspection of the bodies, interviews, ballistic trajectory, biological expertise, digital searches, telephone analysis and autopsy, according to the attorney general.
Most of the deaths, the attorney general said, occurred in the metropolitan region of Caracas and Aragua, with a total of seven deaths in each region.
