Diaz was sentenced to more than nine years in prison, but in 2010 he fled the
country after a court allowed him out for work during certain hours. He
sought asylum in the United States. Diaz has long maintained he had no role
in the attacks and has accused Venezuelan authorities of violating his
rights in the case.
The rights court ruled in Diaz’s favour last week, saying Venezuela was
responsible for violating his rights and for inhumane and degrading
treatment during his imprisonment.
Chavez accused the court of “supporting terrorism” in siding with
Diaz.
In Washington, US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters
on Wednesday that if Venezuela withdraws from the rights court “would
be sending a deeply regrettable message about its commitment to human rights
and democracy.”
“The inter-American Court of Human Rights is a highly respected,
independent and autonomous body of the OAS, and we would hate to see
Venezuela walk away from it, particularly in light of those people inside
Venezuela fighting for their democratic rights,” she said.
Venezuelan human rights groups have warned that if Chavez’s government
withdraws from such bodies, victims of rights abuses would have fewer venues
in which to make their cases.
