Relatives to take Brito's case to international courts
Human Rights The Venezuelan Judiciary failed to solve the case of farmer Franklin Brito and, from the point of view of domestic law, all legal resources have been used. Therefore, the heirs of the deceased farmer must resort to different international human rights bodies to seek the justice they have not received in their country, according to lawyer Gonzalo Himiob, a member of NGO Foro Penal Venezolano. Brito's relatives agree.
