A leading human rights organization has condemned recent U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan boats that the Trump administration said killed at least 14 people, calling them "unlawful extrajudicial killings".
"US officials cannot summarily kill people they accuse of smuggling drugs," said Sarah Yager, Washington director of Human Rights Watch on Wednesday, through an official statement on Wednedsay, adding that "the problem of narcotics entering the United States is not an armed conflict, and US officials cannot circumvent their human rights obligations by pretending otherwise."
