Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni was taken in handcuffs and a bullet-proof vest from the National Institute of Feminine Orientation (INOF) to Control Court #50 of Caracas to notify her that she will remain in detention while the prosecution collects evidence for processing her for allegedly participating in a plan to allow the escape of banker Eligio Cedeño. According to testimony offered by her lawyer Sandy Guevara, Judge Afiuni was guarded by 17 National Guard soldiers. "Overall the doctor was calm, quiet, cheerful, with her head held high," Guevara said. Moreover, the director of the Human Rights Office of the Catholic University Andrés Bello (UCAB), Ligia Bolivar, reported yesterday that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) issued an emergency protective measure for Afiuni which solicits the Venezuelan government to adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the life and physical integrity of the judge, to transfer her to a safe place and report on the proceedings of the case.
Given the situation facing journalist Gustavo Azocar Alcalá in the state of Táchira, who has been behind bars for more than 160 days, the National Association of Journalists' Zulia branch arrived at the prison holding Azocar to provide its support. Nikary Gonzalez, the Zulia branch's secretary general, said that "Venezuelan journalists are confronted with the monster of indifference (...) Venezuelans can not ignore what happens in the nation today, what is happening to Gustavo Azocar today could happen to any of us tomorrow." The association's president, William Echeverria ... said that "when a journalist is in prison, freedom of expression is in prison (...) when a person is reading the newspaper when a person is listening to the radio, we are seeing that person's right to be informed limited when a journalist goes to jail." Echeverria showed evidence demonstrating that the accusations against Gustavo Azocar are unfounded and appealed to the conscience of the representatives of the judicial body overseeing the case .
Beginning today, the government is considering a plan to ration light daily throughout the country, according to information from the Minister of People's Power for Electricity, Angel Rodriguez. In an interview with Venezolana de Televisión, Rodriguez explained that the directors of the subsidiaries of the National Electricity Corporation (Corpoelec) will explain the plan to the community at a 9:00 am press conference how these savings will be applied in each region, so that the public is prepared and can take corresponding measures. "We hope there is a sufficient level of information to minimise the problems such actions have the potential to cause," said the minister.
Minister of Energy and Petroleum Rafael Ramirez announced that in "hours or days," the Foreign Exchange Administration Commission, Cadivi, will publish in detail the existing budget for dollars for each sector and which of them will have access at the official rate (2.6 bolivars to the dollar) and which must access dollars at the black market rate (4.60 bolivars to the dollar). He predicted a reduction to black market dollar trading, which, in his view, was "fundamental for speculation and we are putting an end to it to a large extent." He explained that before, all sectors were competing for the same budget or ability to access foreign exchange, but based on the new study, "we will prioritise the sectors. People are guaranteed to a rate of 2.6 bolivars to the dollar via Cadivi and will not have to go to the parallel market, we guarantee that for the activities that of interest to us."
During the first day of implementing the National Accountability Plan, employees of the Institute for the Protection of Individuals with Access to Goods and Services (Indepabis) were deployed throughout the country and inspected 96 shops, of which 70 were sanctioned and forced to close for allowing illegal repricing and exchange rate speculation. Among the establishments shut down were auto parts vendors, appliance stores, food outlets and supermarkets. "It's illegal for commercial establishments to chane the price of products already on sale," said the accountability director of Indepabis, Valentina Querales. She also said that "the so-called replacement cost is a lie because merchants have in their inventories items purchased at 2.15 Bolivars per dollar and now want to charge you double or even more."
