Caracas 04/12/1911. (PS) .- Pedro Aranguren, Leocenis journalist's lawyer Garcia, introduced on Tuesday an appeal to the trial room 20 requesting the inhibition of Judge Jesus Jimenez, "On Leocenis manifestly enemy Garcia in the process that follows him and sided with the prosecution of shamelessly. "
"When Leocenis Garcia served two years unjustly imprisoned, the court stated that my client was responsible for its own procedural delays. Something unusual and can only be described as an aberration from the point of view of the Venezuelan legal system, "he said.
added that it was this same judge who repeatedly denied that precautionary measures were requested for the journalist and only when Leocenis Garcia held a hunger strike while in the Criminal Tocuyito "hardly" Jesus Jimenez gave him the benefit of trial.
"At a minimum the Constitution requires that trials must be conducted by impartial judges. Jesus Jimenez has shown throughout the process that ignores the basic subject of criminal proceedings. We appreciate your decency, modesty and abandon a cause which is not competent, "he said.
wondered "why this court have repeatedly refused out the cause of Leocenis Garcia? Will you have a clear interest in continuing this trial? ". He concluded by saying "When you go to a cause with an obviously biased judge and the defendant is convicted."
For its part, Leocenis Garcia claimed that citizens from the power have the right to rebellion. "This is a right that is in the 1999 Constitution and that is why I will not introduce me to a trial by a judge who decided that I should continue another year prison when he was two years in prison, something that is not allowed the Code of Procedure Criminal. "
recalled that after starting a hunger strike and pressure from journalists, the trial judge withdrew 20 of its arguments and granted the injunction. "Someday the Venezuelans have to rebuild this mess today means that justice is in the hands of the President of the Republic and the government he leads."
stressed that his case meets the same fate of cases of Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni, Otto Gebauer and dozens of political prisoners who have requested to be tried by judges impartial.
Garcia also recorded a letter from the Foundation Vigilante Venezuela that was extended an invitation to a forum on freedom of expression in Venezuela to be held in the coming weeks. "As you recall, I'm still reporting regime and not to leave the country."
