Amnesty International is concerned for the safety of Deivy Jaspe Gutiérrez, Ives Pico Gutiérrez, Angela Gutiérrez and their family, in Sucre state, northeastern Venezuela. They have reportedly been intimidated and threatened by local police in an apparent effort to silence their calls for an investigation into the murder of family member Carlos Miguel Pico Gutiérrez in April 2003.
