Still at it in Venezuela

Venezuela has tried two civilian taxi drivers along with eight Special Forces officers (one of whom was retired) in a military court, according to this report from Venezuela al Día.

Human rights norms strong disfavor the trial of civilians in military courts. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has also condemned the exercise of military jurisdiction over military retirees.
