Witness To Power Disappearances, Murders, And Arrests Of Freemasons In Venezuela: The Chain Of Command Leading To Miraflores

This book is not an opinion piece, nor a political manifesto.
It is a documented record.

Witness to Power reconstructs a pattern of systematic persecution carried out in Venezuela between 2017 and 2018, following the extrajudicial execution of former police officer Óscar Alberto Pérez. Through testimonies, official documents, forensic reports, judicial records, press archives, and international communications, the book documents disappearances, murders, arbitrary arrests, raids, and intimidation directed against members of Venezuelan Freemasonry and their families.

Rather than focusing solely on a single event, this work examines how state power operates through chains of command, institutional omissions, and the criminalization of association. It analyzes how military jurisdiction was applied to civilians, how digital traces were used as instruments of repression, and how fear and silence became structural tools of control.

The book includes:

• Direct testimonies from witnesses and victims

• Forensic and medical documentation

• Official records from Venezuelan institutions

• International reactions and condemnations

• Evidence submitted to the International Criminal Court

Witness to Power does not seek to persuade or accuse. It seeks to preserve memory, document facts, and leave a trace where erasure was intended. In authoritarian contexts, documenting becomes a legitimate form of resistance.

This book is written for readers interested in human rights, international law, political repression, and contemporary Venezuelan history.
