THE TERRIBLE CASE OF PABLO ESTRADA, A VENEZUELAN PRISONER WITHOUT A CAUSE


My defendant, Pablo Estrada Izaguirre, has been in prison at the SEBIN-Helicoide since July 2014.  My team and I were assigned as his defendant since December 2014.  Since then, we have witnessed a terrible lack justice on a daily basis, results from arbitrary detentions, Human Rights violations and open political unfair judgments since the beginning of 2014 in Venezuela.

Pablo Estrada, his baby boy, his mother, sister and his fiancé are a collateral damage, results from the persecution and political arbitraries that occurred in 2014 . Today these events have increased in different ways and modalities and have worsened much more during 2015.

He was detained during a pacific demonstration in Bello Monte and still his detention occurred in Las Mercedes.  Paradoxically, Pablo is not a politician and never had interest in politics of any kind. His only dream and hope is to obtain his freedom, to be with his son and to treat  his urgent health condition with the help of his loved ones. Pablo is a 37 year old young man, a professional Music Engineer and Producer of Electronic Music and well known Disc Jockey.

In 2012 Pablo whom I consider not only my defendant but also my friend was hospitalized as indicated in all the medical service records of Internal Medicine and Surgery from the
“Dr. Miguel Pérez Carreño Hospital” , adjourned to the Instituto Venezolano de los Seguros Sociales (IVSS).  Pablo has been affected by a well spread TUBERCULOSIS  a)Mulculoesquelética  a.1) Pott Sicknesst L4-L5, a.2) A psoas left muscle Abscess  by Mycobacterium tuberculosis; b) Pulmonary Tuberculosis ”.   This means he carries a dangerous illness.  And on top of this, he has two broken vertebrates which have left him disabled and not able to walk in the past, during approximately three months. At this moment he suffers from a depressive condition results from his illness and the unfair and arbitrary detention from the SEBIN.

Pablo’s Tuberculosis requires a complex medical treatment which was been attended under the appropriate protocol but which has not been completely finalized. Pablo was receiving periodic evaluations until he was openly detained and without a cause, his tomographic studies were done to evaluate his thorax, abdomen and the lumbar condition, nevertheless, as informed by his personal doctor his needs to maintain an strict control to his illness and health condition was very complex, a control that was penalized and not allowed by the SEBIN and Judicial office. During the last two months, Pablo presented a very strong pain in the intercostal area as he is able to breath with high difficulty.  For many nights Pablo has experienced emergency situations as results from his health condition and as communicated by his doctor it is due to medical history and genetic reappearance or what is also known as a relapse.

In some opportunities the SEBIN has called paramedics to take care of Pablo. There were two opportunities were a specialized doctor was called as the paramedics were not able to evaluate the complex situation.  Such doctor indicated that Pablo was very ill and informed the SEBIN but the head of the institution, which names I prefer not to mention at this moment, have not allowed to obtain a copy of the diagnostic results from the exams that were done to Pablo in order to request to the Judge the appropriate transfer to the Medicature Forense. After a deep investigation with the doctor that treated Pablo at the SEBIN, I realized Pablo had an authorization from such doctor so he would be urgently transferred to the Centro Medico Docente La Trinidad and have the appropriate exams to be done (TX from Thorax, Controlled TBC  among others)

Pablo’s health condition is in a very dangerous situation as his life is at risk due to his pre-existent condition due to his depression.  The authorities at the SEBIN are aware of the situation and after I’ve been speaking to them so much, and having the good will and so many steps taken, what I have realized is that they do not guarantee Pablo’s right to good health. We have reported this to all the Venezuelan authorities and will continue to fight for Pablo’s freedom rights, and much more for his health rights to all pertinent organizations.
Pablo is not a politician, he is a victim of the politics. A terrible collateral damage that we hope doesn’t have to continue to suffer so much more this humiliating and deplorable situation.

Pablo Estrada’s first Judicial Audience has been differed more than 5 times and it is due to meet again on March 23 to the Court Office  29,  from the Judicial Penal Circuit in the Metropolitan Area of Caracas. Still such office has had more than three months WITHOUT OFFICE OR SECRETARY and no one can even review the folios that pertain to this case. In this situation we have made the diligent steps and have presented the appropriate requests to the Judicial Commission of the Judicial Supreme Court in order to regularize the administrative situation at the Court office 29. We hope not to be victims of the judicial system and not to defer this case as it could become a dangerous situation to Pablo due to his extreme ill condition, may God help him.

I personally assume, COMPLETE and TOTAL responsibility for all expressed here. It is my duty and commitment to do all I can do within my reach, legally and constitutionally, to report Pablo Estrada dangerous , critical and unfair situation as well as wrongfully imprisoned at the SEBIN since July of 2014.
