A law firm has filed a habeas corpus petition with the Supreme Court of El Salvador to demand the immediate release of 238 Venezuelans detained since March. The firm is representing them at the request of Venezuela's vice president, arguing that their detention at the Terrorism Confinement Center lacks legal basis. They are also calling for the court to take precautionary measures, including better living conditions for the detainees while their case is considered. The lawyer declared this situation unprecedented in Salvadoran history, emphasizing the need for clarity in protecting these individuals' rights.
The firm insists the Venezuelans have not committed crimes in El Salvador, asserting their detention lacks legal justification, which highlights the importance of their case.
Jaime Ortega emphasizes the legal challenge as unprecedented, reflecting a lack of treaties or frameworks that define the legal protections for these detained Venezuelans.
