[Maduro’s defense team asks the U.S. to drop charges of torture and ill-treatment] November 11th, according to Venezuelan news on the 10th, the defense team of Venezuelan President Maduro has asked the U.S. to drop charges that he has committed torture and ill-treatment on the grounds that Maduro should enjoy immunity as a sovereign head of state and that there are procedural errors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office. It is reported that the defense team insisted on the previously submitted motion, arguing that based on the immunity enjoyed by Maduro and his wife, the U.S. court should dismiss the accusation of torture and ill-treatment. If the court refuses to dismiss the case, the defense requests access to prosecution records related to torture or ill-treatment, or asks the presiding judge to review these records. (CCTV News)
