Description
Relatives of a Venezuelan detainee denounce an alleged suicide attempt by their loved one inside the Tocoron prison. Carlos Vallecillo, 34, was arrested during the post-election protests of July 29, which resulted in at least 2,000 people being indicted on terrorism charges, according to government figures. His cellmates reportedly discovered him around 5 a.m. as he was attempting to take his own life and immediately handed him over to prison medical staff. However, according to the detainee's relatives, prison authorities have denied the suicide attempt, claiming that his visit to the medical service was merely part of routine procedures.
