Don't think these UN human rights 'experts' are going to get much response from Maduro, other than lies. You can be sure that if the information coming from VZ talks about 19 people being killed, the real number is quite a bit higher. Would think that the videos coming out of VZ speak for themselves.

Maduro the Mad will block this. You can be sure. After all he has cut diplomatic relations with Panama because they called a meeting of OAS to discuss providing mediation and dialogue.
UN experts poking about? Not a chance! He will claim as another part of the “neo-fascist plot”.

PS: Panama currently owes Venezuela billions for Crude. Didn't really think that one through, did you Mr. Maduro?
