Venezuela Besieges Argentine Embassy, Raising Tensions in South America
Armed, hooded Venezuelan security forces have surrounded the Argentine embassy in Caracas, where six Venezuelan opposition members are seeking refuge from government crackdowns. These individuals, including international coordinator Pedro Urruchurtu, report streets are blocked, drones are present, and communication is cut off. This action follows President Maduro’s disputed election victory and mirrors a similar incident in September. The international community is being alerted to the potential danger facing those sheltering within the embassy.
