00:00We heard testimony of all the mothers, the fathers, of the family members, of the grandparents,
00:19and I think it's important that the people of Venezuela listens from their own voices
00:24of the family members of our brothers and sisters kidnapped in El Salvador to listen
00:31their own testimonies and the truth about these brothers and sisters that will be rescued
00:41by the forces of truth and the forces of God and the people of Venezuela.
00:48Let's listen to Jetsi, a mother of one of our brothers kidnapped in El Salvador.
00:53Good afternoon.
00:54We came here to denounce the atrocity that is being committed with our sons because none
01:01of them have criminal record.
01:07All of them are innocent, not because we say it, because it has been proven that the ones
01:16that are truly committing a crime with our sons is them.
01:20So we call for the help of all with the signatures that we take to the streets if necessary,
01:28but we need our sons back.
01:30Please, we need the help of all of you.
01:33We condemn and we denounce before the world that it be known that those people, those
01:39young men and women are not guilty.
01:42They are innocent.
01:43I say again, they have already been investigated by all the parties and they are innocent.
01:50Let's also listen to the testimony of a father of one of the boys that is currently kidnapped
01:55in El Salvador, Osvaldo Moreno.
01:59Good afternoon.
02:02I come here to denounce before the world, before the country, to raise awareness that
02:11what is happening here is a complete injustice.
02:14They are ending our life, they are ending our heart, they are destroying families, parents
02:19are being destroyed, innocent children that are in those jails next to criminals just
02:25because of their nationality, for being Venezuelans.
02:31This circus, this demonic duo of Bukele and Trump has to be brought down.
02:39Let's open our eyes, Venezuelans, today is us, but it can be anyone tomorrow.
02:46To migrate is not a crime.
02:48Our sons have not committed any crime and this has been proven because it has been investigated.
02:54All the people that are currently there are innocent.
02:57The only crime before this demonic duo is that they are Venezuelan and we have to defend
03:03our dignity and sovereignty before the world and the organizations of international rights
03:08and human rights organizations have to raise their voices before these atrocities.
03:14Here we have the truth, 240 Venezuelan young men that entered the United States and that
03:24they legally registered before the migration organizations of the United States.
03:32Everything is known, their work is known, they were kitchen helpers, they were artists,
03:37they were plumbers, delivery.
03:42All of them, they complied with the requirements that the United States imposed of them to
03:48live in the United States, in different cities of the country.
03:53That under the siege, armed with violence, they were kidnapped, they entered their homes,
03:58they were hit and they were brought out of their homes or from the workplaces or in the
04:05public places.
04:08They were caught in the same migration offices where they went to express their desire to
04:15return to Venezuela.
04:20So deceiving them, telling them that they were being returned to Venezuela, they took
04:25them to a prison and from there, a flight that can only be compared with the transportation
04:34of trains of the Jewish population towards concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
04:41The exact same modus operandi, without telling them where they were going, they took them
04:45to a third country that none of those people had known until this moment.
04:52How can it be possible that Bukele accepts and allows, and even worse, gets money for
04:59having people kidnapped in there, people that have not committed any crime, nor in El Salvador,
05:05nor in the United States, nor in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela?
05:09It's a vulgar crime, a kidnapping, and they are submitting to slave work to young men
05:18and women.
05:19How can it be possible that eight Venezuelan women are being taken to El Salvador and they
05:25are there kidnapped in a high-risk prison where only there are men?
05:30How can that be possible?
05:32How can they kidnap a minor who turned 20 in the United States, and the age majority
05:42in the United States is 21, and he turned 21 while being detained in one of those centers?
05:50How can it be possible that they took young, innocent men to El Salvador and they abandoned
05:57women and children, their wives, that they have no idea what to do now?
06:01So what we are doing is we are going to move heaven and earth.
06:04We are going to do anything that is necessary.
06:06We are going to talk with whoever we need to talk with, and we are going to bring all
06:10Venezuelans back from the United States, and above all, so that over 240 Venezuelans kidnapped
06:18in El Salvador can return to home, to their families, to their homeland, to their territory,
06:24to the homeland that we all carry in our hearts.
06:28We have hired the best lawyers in El Salvador to defend our young men and women and secure
06:36their release.
06:37We are contacting the best lawyers in terms of migration in the United States, so that
06:42they represent the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and so that they also represent
06:47all Venezuelan migrants.
06:49To migrate, as one of the family members said, is not a crime.
06:54And these young men and women did not commit any crime, nor in the United States, and even
07:01less in El Salvador, that they didn't even know about that country until they were taken
07:05there, kidnapped.
07:09The International Declaration of Human Rights is being violated.
07:12The UN Charter is being violated.
07:15The Universal Declaration of the Rights of Children is also being violated.
07:20All conventions on migration are being violated.
07:26Same time, we want to insist that Venezuela is ready.
07:31We have everything that is possible to renew the flights from Venezuela to bring Venezuelan
07:41migrants that are currently in the United States.
07:44We are ready and completely prepared.
07:48We are only waiting for the coordination, the necessary coordination.
07:53Who is the one blocking this?
07:54Who is impeding that these flights take place?
07:57Is it the Department, the State Department of the United States government?
08:02I say again, we are ready to go and pick up our brothers in the United States of America.
08:14If it were up to us, we would bring all of them.
08:17We wouldn't leave one single Venezuelan to be mistreated in the United States.
08:22And besides, we say it again, and we will achieve this.
08:27We won't rest.
08:28And I mean the whole people of Venezuela, the President Nicolás Maduro, the government
08:34of the Republic of Venezuela, the National Assembly, and above all, mothers and fathers
08:38of those young men.
08:40We will not rest until they arrive here in the Simón Bolívar Airport in Maiketia, here
08:47in their homeland, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
08:50We won't rest, and we will achieve this.
08:53We pledge this, and we serve it on our sons, on God All-Powerful.
08:57We will bring them back.
08:59They will return.
