Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said on Tuesday that more than 20 people have been imprisoned by Venezuelan authorities in what she described as “a brutal wave of repression” and urged other countries to act.
“The Maduro regime unleashes a brutal wave of repression in Venezuela: more than 20 people have disappeared and been imprisoned in 72 hours,” Machado wrote in a post on her X account. “International justice HAS THE OBLIGATION to hold the perpetrators accountable.”
