José Luis Tamayo, the defense lawyer of former Caracas Metropolitan Police commissioners Henry Vivas, Lázaro Forero and Iván Simonovis, said on Wednesday that he awaits the resumption of a hearing.

The attorney will seek full freedom of the ex police officers, who remain in prison without conviction, based upon several international treaties and conventions. 
"We think that the hearing must begin in an hour. We are awaiting the transfer of the eight police agents of the Caracas Metropolitan Police because commissioners Vivas, Forero and Simonovis are at the Palace of Justice, in Aragua state, (approximately 60 miles west of Caracas)," said Tamayo.

With regard to the request for full freedom, Tamayo said that he made the petition again a few weeks ago and that the Attorney General Office must take a decision on Wednesday. He added that he had completed the revision of the records "to make way to the concluding stage."
