Roy Chaderton

The snipers aim at the head, but there comes a time when a squalid (opposition) head is no different from a Chavista head, except in the content. The sound produced by a squalid head is much smaller, it is like a crack, because the cranial vault is hollow and passes quickly. But that is known after the projectile passes through.

Roy Chaderton, interview in Zurda Konducta  [ es ]

In 2015, the group Venezuelans Persecuted in Exile (Veppex) in Miami asked the Secretary General of the Organization of American States José Miguel Insulza to sanction Roy Chaderton, then ambassador to the organization, for a controversial statement made during an interview on the program Zurda Konducta  [ es ] of the state-owned Venezolana de Televisión. [1] Veppex highlighted in a statement that the description made by the ambassador was "a comparison that incites violence". Chaderton apologized for his comment saying that his statements were taken out of context, and that what he was trying to warn was that in the face of an "invasion by the United States" there would be no distinction between Chavistas and opponents. [2]

Canada sanctioned 40 Venezuelan officials, including Chaderton, in September 2017. [3] [4] The sanctions were for behaviors that undermined democracy after at least 125 people were killed in the 2017 Venezuelan protests and "in response to the government of Venezuela's deepening descent into dictatorship"; Chrystia Freeland, Foreign Minister said, "Canada will not stand by silently as the government of Venezuela robs its people of their fundamental democratic rights". [3] The Canadian regulations of the Special Economic Measures Act prohibited any "person in Canada and any Canadian outside Canada from: dealing in property, wherever situated, that is owned, held or controlled by listed persons or a person acting on behalf of a listed person; entering into or facilitating any transaction related to a dealing prohibited by these Regulations; providing any financial or related services in respect of a dealing prohibited by these Regulations; making available any goods, wherever situated, to a listed person or a person acting on behalf of a listed person; and providing any financial or other related services to or for the benefit of a listed person."
