Venezuelan police officer Sofia Aguilar denounced the Vatican Tuesday for granting asylum to Nixon Moreno, the leader of a violent opposition student group called March 13th Movement (M13) that waged violent protests in 2006, during which Aguilar was assaulted and nearly raped, and Aguilar's police partner was left in a coma.

"The attitude of the Church is very humiliating for me... they have turned their backs on me, without even one bishop or church representative asking me what happened or giving me the benefit of the doubt," said Aguilar Tuesday. "They simply say it is a lie."

In May of 2006, the M13 attacked police officers with handguns and shotguns, leaving 26 police officers injured, to protest a Supreme Court ruling that postponed student government elections.
