Police in Venezuela’s Carabobo state on Sunday raided a gay sauna and
arrested 33 people.

A Venezuelan activist told the Washington Blade the arrests in Valencia,
which is the country’s third largest city, took place “without a search
warrant, without due process” and violated “the fundamental rights of 33
Venezuelan adults who were in full use of their mental and physical
faculties.”

“[They were subjected to] degrading treatment,” said the activist. “[The
police] deprived them of their liberty and subjected them to public
ridicule.”

One local media report indicates an “orgy” was taking place during a “sex
party” at the sauna when the raid took place.

The report indicates one of the participants who police arrested lives
with HIV. It also said party organizers planned to sell videos of the men
having sex they recorded.

The activist with whom the Blade spoke said a judge on Wednesday released
30 of the 33 men who were arrested and ordered them to report to
authorities every 30 days until they go to trial. The activist noted the
sauna’s owner and two masseurs will remain in custody until they are able
to pay bail.

Discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation, gender identity
and HIV is commonplace in Venezuela, a South American country that remains
in the midst of an ongoing political and economic crisis.

Members of Venezuela’s General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence
in January 2021 raided the offices of Azul Positivo, an HIV/AIDS service
organization and arrested the group’s president and five other staff
members. Police on Feb. 15, 2019, raided the offices of Fundación Mavid,
another HIV/AIDS service organization in Valencia, and arrested three
staffers after they confiscated donated infant formula and medications for
people with HIV/AIDS.

Caribe Afirmativo and Fundación de Atención Inclusiva, Social y Humana
(FUVADIS) are among the advocacy groups in neighboring Colombia that
continue to work with LGBTQ and intersex Venezuelans who have fled their
country in recent years.

“Persecution against LGBTIQ+ people in Venezuela is increasing,” said the
Venezuelan Education-Action Program on Human Rights (PROVEA), a Venezuelan
human rights organization, in a tweet.

“We reiterate the need for due process, the right to private counsel and
that every person knows the reasons for their detention,” added PROVEA.
“To be homosexual is not a crime.”

Yes it is in the eyes of real humans. Queers and their enablers are going
to be exterminated.
