The Committee of the Relatives of the Victims of February-March 1989 (Cofavic) complained at the United Nations that more than 8,000 people have been killed in extrajudicial killing in the past nine years

Extrajudicial killings by death squads have spread across Venezuela since 2001, when dead bodies and threatening leaflets signed by police groups began to appear in the roads and highways of the central state of Portuguesa.

-----------
Cofavic stressed in the report that in the past nine years more than 8,000 people have been killed in extrajudicial executions, as a result of the "high levels of corruption, the lack of professionalization of police forces and impunity."

Members of Cofavic used figures issued by the Attorney General Office to tell the United Nations members that Venezuelan authorities have failed to investigate and punish those crimes.
