CARACAS, March 16 (Xinhua) -- Venezuelan Vice President Tareck El Aissami said Friday that he would demand an international arrest warrant for the country's former Attorney-General Luisa Ortega Diaz.

During a presentation at the National Constituent Assembly, El Aissami said that the arrest of Ortega Diaz was linked to her "role in the acts of violence in 2017."

El Aissami said that Ortega Diaz had not acted within the law during violent protests organized by the opposition between April and July 2017, sparked by discontent at the country's political and economic crises.

The vice president said the former attorney-general had allied herself with sections of the opposition which sought to spark "a foreign invasion and the toppling of the president, Nicolas Maduro."

In August 2017, when an arrest warrant was issued against her and her husband, Ortega Diaz fled the country to Aruba before moving to Colombia.

On Friday, she published on Twitter that she had broadened the charges she filed against Maduro for violation of human rights to the International Criminal Court.
