13 May 2021 By AFP 0 min 47Approximate reading time A court in Venezuela on Thursday sentenced a police officer to 25 years in prison over the murder of a youth during a demonstration against President Nicolas Maduro in 2017. Around 100 people died during mass protests against Maduro’s government in 2017. The court in the northeastern Anzoategui state convicted former officer Onan Josue Pereira Irigoyen of “treacherous homicide” and the “improper use of … weapons” in killing Cesar Pereira in Lecheria, a town east of the capital Caracas. In 2018, the International Criminal Court (ICC) opened an investigation into possible crimes against humanity by the Maduro regime, notably for the repression of those 2017 protests.
