Legal and advocacy actions by Nahuel Gallo

Overview

Nahuel Gallo, an Argentine Gendarmerie officer detained in Venezuela for 448 days, has transitioned from public advocacy to formal legal action following his release.

Initially, Gallo used public platforms, such as the Buenos Aires Half Marathon, to draw international attention to the plight of political prisoners and foreigners in Venezuela. Wearing a shirt with the slogan “Free all political prisoners and foreigners,” he criticized the Venezuelan government for a policy of persecution and highlighted the lack of due process for various detainees.

Subsequently, Gallo filed a formal request with Argentine Federal Justice to issue international arrest warrants for five Venezuelan officials. This legal action is part of an investigation into alleged crimes against humanity related to his detention at the El Rodeo I prison. The petition targets former Attorney General Tarek William Saab and several other officials, seeking accountability for the conditions of his captivity and the irregular judicial processes used to charge him with terrorism.
