Maduro faces US lawsuit over "Death Brigades"
The families of five young men who were killed in Venezuela between 2017 and 2020 have filed a lawsuit against Nicolás Maduro in an American court, accusing him of running "death squads" responsible for extrajudicial killings and fabricating narratives to justify them. The lawsuit states that these forces were used to suppress dissent and intimidate impoverished neighborhoods, and that they have become a symbol of the death squads which were dissolved in 2021 following international human rights criticisms. Currently, Maduro is imprisoned in New York on charges related to drug trafficking.
