“Desnuda completamente me pidieron que abriera las piernas varias veces”
Connect the dots…from teacher to pupil… from the KGB to the East German Stasi to Castro State Security to Venezuela’s Bolivarian torturers.
Lilian Tintori, the wife of imprisoned opposition leader Leopoldo López, said that on a visit to Ramo Verde prison last weekend, guards made her strip naked, remove her sanitary pad, spread her legs open repeatedly for close inspection of her genitals.
In other words, she was raped. But that was not the worst of it. Her two children, six-year-old Manuela, and three-year old Leopoldo Santiago, were forced to watch all this.
In true Castro style, the Bolivarian torturers found a way to make this experience even worse for the jailed dissident’s family.
Lopez’s two children were also forced to watch their grandmother, Antonieta Mendoza undergo the same kind of shameful abuse.
“They have psychologically tortured me and Leopoldo with their actions and now even my children are being exposed to their abuse,” Tintori said in accusations that brought expressions of outrage from inside and outside Venezuela.
Lopez, leader of the opposition party Popular Will, is serving a 14-year sentence in solitary confinement, in a tiny four-foot by nine-foot cell.
The Castro-led puppet regime of Nicolas Maduro is denying these allegations.

Poor Lopez was foolish to surrender to totalitarians. And people wonder why most anti-Castro Cubans either left Cuba or went underground. Without foreign allies, it was the only way.
I’ve decided I prefer the old bastard in military costume loaded with fake bling, because he’s more honestly fraudulent that way, so to speak. It’s sort of like Walter Mercado as the Liberace of astrology.
Maduro’s hand seems unduly small for the rest of him. I wonder if that applies elsewhere on his body…
