On May 18, 2017, a National Guard officer fired a tear gas bomb at point-blank range at the body of Oscar Navarrete. He was taken to a clinic showing no vital signs on admission, but he responded after the fourth resuscitation attempt. The doctors predicted that he would be left in a vegetative state, but his mother refused to accept the diagnosis.
I am Venezuelan journalist with a degree from the Andrés Bello Catholic University. I hit the streets carrying a bag full of notepads, a great deal of curiosity and a desire to ask people questions. I am passionate about writing and photography, and I decided that that’s how I want to tell stories that move(me): through words and lots of camera clicks.
