In light of this report, Canning House and the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Venezuela have invited Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the Organisation of American States (OAS) to speak with Dra. Tamara Sujú, a human rights lawyer, about what the international community might do to ameliorate the situation.
