The secretary general of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, stated that more than 12,000 people in the country are awaiting trial. He noted that the cases of these people are currently being reviewed to correct procedural violations and to organize judicial procedures. According to Cabello, 70% of the detainees use the assistance of public defenders, which indicates that most of them cannot afford private lawyers.
