The doctor José Alberto Marulanda Bedoya is a graduate of the Central University of Venezuela and for some years has worked for the University Hospital of Caracas in the specialty of traumatology, with greater zeal in hand surgery.
Marulanda was imprisoned by uniformed officers of the Directorate of General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) on Sunday, May 20, the day on which the presidential elections were held, in a restaurant in El Hatillo while he was having breakfast, and was taken to the Sebin headquarters, in Boleíta, municipality Sucre.
It was not until four days later (May 24) when he was presented before military courts
-although he is a civilian- in Fuerte Tiuna, Libertador municipality, to receive charges. According to the director of the Venezuelan Criminal Forum, Alfredo Romero, the man was
not allowed to defend himself, as he was admitted to the premises through the back door. The military judge charged him with the crimes of instigating hatred and treason; the latter is the most serious accusation in both civil and military criminal legislation.
José Alberto Marulanda, who also holds the Colombian nationality, was transferred to the National Military Processing Center of Ramo Verde and it is unknown when his next hearing will be. Lawyers reported that the doctor received cruel treatment by uniformed,
to the point that he was deaf in the right ear after a blow that was given. He also had traces of abuse on his hands.

Ah, the irony, to break the bones in the hands of a hand surgeon. Especially since most of the highly skilled physicians have fled Venezuela. All to get back at his Navy lover who has fled the country**. Another glorious win for the Bolivarian Revolution.
**Chavismo has found a way to get a bit of reprisal against its enemies abroad. They go after the relatives and loved ones left behind.
