The Venezuelan government will be liable to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for the killing of human rights activist Joe Castillo

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights announced that it has filed a complaint against Venezuela with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, based in San José (Costa Rica) for the murder of Joe Castillo, a human rights advocate of the Apostolic Vicariate of Machiques, Zulia state, in 2003.

Castillo was intercepted by two men riding a motorcycle who shot him while driving his car.

No one has been prosecuted after seven years of the murder.
