Venezuelan police been carrying out extrajudicial executions and arbitrary arrests in poor communities that no longer support the Nicolás Maduro government, according to a new Human Rights Watch report. The attacks were carried out by police with the Special Actions Force of Venezuela (FAES) unit, which was linked to widespread allegations of abuse of ordinary citizens during what was known as the “Operation to Liberate and Protect the People” (Operación de Liberación y Protección del Pueblo, OLP). Most of the killings Human Rights Watch reviewed are consistent with the abusive policing practices that several security agencies have used for years.
