Orlando Figuera describes attack from his deathbed: ~ 3pm, he arrived near Altamira & Miranda stations. He was grabbed; knew nothing of attackers; only that they were participants in opposition (MUD) march; they had various items to be used as weapons. “Kill him!” they shouted.pic.twitter.com/NHDMSfQyJt

Orlando Figuera had a job parking cars in El Paseo de la Mercedes, near Los Supermercados Plaza, says his mother, Inez Esparragoza. That day he was going to work, he was wearing a read shirt when he was grabbed by masked guarimberos who were participating in the opposition march.pic.twitter.com/lRV7S5jif7

Speaking to a doctor at the hospital, Orlando Figuera’s mother was told that the guarimberos were young men who participate in marches because they're paid by the opposition. She asks, if that’s the case, how could [MUD leaders] Julio Borges and Henrique Capriles allow this?pic.twitter.com/fbO5RfCLCW

Orlando Figuera’s mother Inez Esparragoza had been employed as a domestic worker. She was fired when her right-wing opposition employers saw her speaking to @VTVcanal8 about this heinous hate crime against her son, on account of being 'Chavista.'pic.twitter.com/EDTxSRRsnQ
