After talking to the old man, Nicolás Maduro’s law enforcement officers make the man climb into the back of a vehicle for allegedly motivating his fellow citizens to abstain from voting in the parliamentary elections on December 3.
This thread on Twitter reports that the man they held him for 4 hours. This is the trill that shows the moment of arrest:
#Venezuela. 1/2 #RepresionSystematica
I have sent this video of yesterday, taken in Pedraza Municipality, Edo Bolivar, to the ICC, where it shows the detention of 103-year-old Fortunato Albarán for 4 hours, when he was walking down the street telling people not to go out to vote . pic.twitter.com/mJs0iIrqPE– Tamara Suju (@TAMARA_SUJU) December 2, 2020
This is the location of the Pedraza municipality, Bolívar state, in Venezuela, where the events occurred denounced by Tamara Sujú, lawyer and specialist in human rights in Venezuela:
The same user (Tamara Sujú) who made the complaint about the detention of the 103-year-old citizen published on Twitter that it is not the first time that the Maduro government intimidates Venezuelans, and shows the second man of Chavismo, Vice President Diosdado Cabello , when he says that “there will be no food for those who do not vote”:
2/2 I have also sent 9 incidents that contain Arbitrary Detention, Forced Disappearance, Torture, Sexual Violence, Clandestine Centers, which involve dozens of victims of Tyranny, including the threatening videos of Diosdado Cabello, which induce hatred and persecution. pic.twitter.com/sBvzti4Gjj

Despite the fact that the human rights activist assures that the complaints are true, other users, such as Jhonel Molina, question what the lawyer said; Molina points out that the Venezuelan opposition uses elderly people like the one in the video to make political propaganda:
The opposition has no people and takes out those poor grandparents all manipulated to be propaganda… I imagine that for the mayors and governors they will do the same…. I do not think so

Juan Guaidó considers that the elections of this December 3 are “a fraud”
Juan Guaidó, the head of the opposition Parliament and recognized as president in charge of Venezuela by more than 60 countries, is not a candidate in the legislative elections next Sunday, which he denounces as “a fraud”, but he is betting on a plebiscite with which he wants endorse an extension to the term of the current National Assembly and promote new sanctions against the government of Nicolás Maduro.
Next year a new Parliament will be installed in Venezuela, which will surely be dominated by Chavismo, given the refusal of the main opposition political parties to nominate candidates. The United States has already announced that it will ignore it and the European Union has asked, without success, to postpone the legislative elections.
Guaidó’s challenge is to save its validity with the consultation he promotes, scheduled for December 7 to 12, without the support of electoral authorities, whom he accuses of serving Maduro.
Trusting that his international allies will ratify the support they have given him, he maintains that the next step is to “standardize sanctions.”
He hopes that the president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, ratifies the sanctions of the outgoing administration of Donald Trump and that these measures have an echo in Europe and Latin America, reluctant to economic restrictions like those imposed by Washington.
On the other hand, the OAS denounced the slowness in investigations into crimes in Venezuela perpetrated by the regime.
