Security forces are punishing some Venezuelans who violate anti-coronavirus measures with physical exercise, sitting under the sun and even beating, witnesses and rights groups say.

One group, Provea, on July 31 posted a video on Twitter apparently showing a soldier in western Tachira state ordering three young men to do pushups while saying “I should not be in the street.” Venezuela’s Information Ministry did not respond to a request to comment about the videos, which Reuters was unable to independently verify.But chief prosecutor Tarek Saab reacted to the baseball bat video by saying authorities would investigate the “cruel and inhuman treatment” and a week later said the person responsible had been identified and charged with assault.
Since Maduro announced a lockdown in March, security forces have set up checkpoints across the country to limit people’s movement and enforce mask use. Police units also patrol through cities to ensure residents comply with curfews.
