Overview
- Chávez remains inside Mexico’s embassy in Lima under diplomatic asylum and cannot travel until Peru rules on the safe‑conduct request.
- Lima says recent practice has distorted the 1954 Caracas Convention by treating criminal cases as political persecution and will seek changes to clarify the safe‑conduct process.
- De Zela says consultations with OAS members are underway and he will ask that the proposal be handled with urgency.
- Authorities have ruled out any attempt to enter the Mexican embassy by force to detain Chávez.
- Peru’s prosecutors have requested preventive detention in her rebellion and conspiracy case, and Congress is scheduled to debate a report recommending a 10‑year disqualification on Wednesday.
