Isaías Medina, a career diplomat from Venezuela
who until yesterday was part of the Venezuelan mission to the United Nations
has resigned to his post after giving declarations to a digital news channel
exposing his opinion about the current political situation in his home country.
Medina argues that he can no longer be part of
a mission that defends Human Rights while his very own country has violated
every single right and constitutional guarantee.
According to his very own words: "Crimes
against humanity, torture, political prisoners, hunger, a barbaric repression
against students who exercise their right to protest and a systematic violation
of rights by a Government that thwarts the civil population´s cry for
change" are the reasons behind his resignation.
