During her speech at the conference “Arbitrary Detentions and Diplomatic Immunities”, within the framework of the 53rd Ordinary Session of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations (UN) in Geneva, the human rights defender, Camilla Fabri, made a call to activate a humanitarian resolution for Alex Saab.
The diplomat’s also wife, through a video call, urged this Monday to find alternative ways to hate to save the controversial precedent of violation of International Law set by the United States government (USA) when kidnapping the Special Envoy of Venezuela to Iran, Alex Saab, refers to a press release.
“International agreements that describe and regulate complex, alert or even suffering situations such as wars; They are created precisely by understanding diplomacy in its depths, diplomacy as a way to achieve peace and to allow the diversity of voices in the proposal for coexistence for humanity, the inalienable defense of the messenger, that messenger who achieves alternate routes to hatred for the respect of human rights”, Fabri said.
alternate routes
Although he acknowledged that the process could take time, he called for a humanitarian resolution to be “pushed”, since the diplomat has been 1,116 days since cracks in world institutions put him in this situation. “Let’s not let this example harm more lives, let’s take care of diplomacy, let’s take care of life.”
She explained that in the case of her husband there are elements that lead to a review of what is internationally established as war.
He affirmed that the details of this arbitrary detention have been the subject of analysis by special rapporteurs, NGOs and government organizations, as well as by human rights fighters, and all have assured that Alex Saab should not have been deprived of liberty for even a single day .
Saab health decline
Fabri raised the complaints to the United Nations about the delicate state of health of the Venezuelan diplomat who, from the moment of his illegal detention in Cape Verde, was diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress.
In addition, after an evaluation in 2021, it was reported that her husband had “anemia, anorexia, worsening type II diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension, elevated risk of thromboembolic disease including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.”
He alleged that for several months and on 16 occasions, both the Venezuelan government and the defense team have requested medical attention due to the serious physical deterioration of Saab who “vomits blood clots, manifests severe headaches, extreme agitation, pain abdominal”.
Measures against Latin America
The Cuban delegation highlighted its solidarity with cases where the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter are undermined “with total impunity.”
The representative of the largest of the Antilles before the Human Rights Council spoke about the parallelism with the case of the five Cuban heroes, who spent many years in prison for their fight against US impositions.
“Like our Cuban heroes, Saab was also defending a free and sovereign nation economically suffocated by an economic blockade and unilateral sanctions,” as in the case of Cuba.
Ángela Diegus, representative of the Lula Livre Movement, pointed out the nature of lawfare against the Venezuelan ambassador, in a case similar to the one carried out against the current Brazilian president, for which the group fought for five years.

He affirmed the “commitment to continue supporting acts of injustice (…) that is why we are together with the Free Alex Saab Movement, to denounce arbitrary detention, as well as the innumerable arrests that occur in our Great Homeland.”
Finally, Gianfranco Fattorini, permanent representative of the American Association of Jurists (AAJ) in Geneva also reiterated the complaint against the illegal detention of Saab with a judicial process with “lack of objectivity” for which he urged the United Nations to adopt the decision of the Court of the Economic Community of West African States (Cedeao) that established the immediate release of the Venezuelan diplomat two years ago.
