Three weeks ago, a judge sentenced Leopoldo López with 13 years, nine months, seven days, and eight hours in prison. On October 1, López’s wife and human rights activist Lilian Tintori sat down for an interview with Univision's Isaac Lee at Americas Society/Council of the Americas.

“Whoever is silent today is complicit,” Tintori said, as she stressed the importance of support from the international community. She talked about meetings she's had with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, as well as international organizations such as the UN, the Organization of American States, and the South American Community of Nations, to lobby for her husband’s cause. She is further asking for electoral monitoring from international observers to ensure that legislatives elections on December 6 are fair and transparent.
