Date: 2017

[Cabello](/people/diosdado-cabello) used Con El Mazo Dando to describe activist Carlos Graffe as a terrorist and, according to the IACHR record, said he deserved "Operation Tun-Tun," a term the Commission described in the case record as referring to searches and arbitrary arrests of government dissidents.
