Apology sought for deportees killed in Venezuelan quakes
Relatives of Venezuelan deportees from the US who died in the earthquakes that struck their country have demanded an apology from Venezuela's interim government.
The mother of a deported Venezuelan who died in the recent earthquakes has demanded an apology and moral compensation from the interim Venezuelan government. Oswadelis Nunez claims her son, Daniel Alejandro Nunez Ramirez, did not have any criminal record in either the United States or Venezuela, questioning why he was unjustly arrested.
Authorities reportedly blocked the detainees from leaving the building and failed to prepare an evacuation plan when the quakes struck. The bereaved mother seeks answers about why her child's life was lost and calls for better deportation protocols, criticizing the lack of information provided by the government. The detained group consisted of 120 men, 19 women, and seven children.
Nunez's sign reads, "I will love you forever, my little boy," as she found his body in an improvised morgue after a five-day search. The government has reported 6,509 deaths from the earthquakes so far, but has not disclosed the number of people missing. Despite the devastation, the interim government has provided 335 homes to quake victims, pledging to deliver 4,000 by the end of the year.
