Women’s Brigades Demand Freedom For Venezuelan Presidential Couple

A total of 118 delegates from 22 nations gathered Friday, March 6, in Caracas for the meeting of the International Women’s Brigades Cilia Flores for Peace. International solidarity was on full display in the Venezuelan capital to demand the immediate release of First Lady and Deputy Cilia Flores, and her husband, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. This initiative, organized as part of the activities for the week of International Women’s Day, intends to highlight the direct impact of sanctions and economic blockades on the lives of women in countries like Venezuela and Cuba.

At The UN, Venezuelan FM Denounces ‘Systematic Campaign’ Against Country

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil denounced a “systematic campaign” against his country on Monday, February 23, at the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. Gil stated that this campaign is a “political operation disguised as a legal debate”, which leads to the freezing of benefits and prejudice, criminalization, and xenophobia against Venezuelan migrants. Furthermore, Yván Gill demanded the release of the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and the first lady, congresswoman Cilia Flores, who were kidnapped by the United States earlier this year.

The Meaning Of Maduro In Metropolitan Detention

I traveled all day to get there, to the prison where the leader of the Bolivarian process is held hostage. It was early January, only a week after Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were kidnapped from Caracas, Venezuela and flown to the prison where they are still held in the Empire State. It has taken me more than a month to write and rewrite this, struggling to distill meaning and method from this madness and mayhem which in today’s world runs the risk of appearing almost mundane – nothing to see here folks! Just another entry in the archive of outrages.

Booker Ngesa Omole, Kenyan political leader and the general secretary of the Communist Party Marxist–Kenya (CPM-K), was abducted and brutally assaulted by officers of the Kenya Police Service late on February 23, according to a public statement issued by the CPM-K. In two consecutive public statements issued on February 24 and 25, the party alleged that Omole was seized by officers of the Kenya Police Service in Isiolo and transported overnight before being held at Mlolongo Police Station. At the time of publication, Omole is still in state custody. There is limited public information about the charges on which he was arrested.

Worker Organizer Abducted By Federal Agents In Minnesota

Federal immigration agents have abducted Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco, a workers’ rights organizer well known in Minnesota for fighting wage theft and labor trafficking. His attorney and son say he is currently held at the Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico, run by CoreCivic, one of the largest private prison companies in the United States. For the first time, his family is going to the press as community support for his release is swelling. “All we care about is having him back with us, at home in Minnesota,” his son, Gerardo Orozco Guzman, told me. ​“That’s all we want.”

Where Is Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, And What Is Israel Doing To Him?

His white coat stands out in stark contrast to the gray ash and rubble surrounding the hospital he had been fighting tirelessly to defend for the past few months. Two massive tanks, their guns pointed in his direction, stand ready to fire. A voice calls out from the tank, calling the name that has now become a symbol of steadfastness, heroism, and tragedy in Gaza: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. This is the scene that played out on December 27, as the Israeli army made its final move towards the Kamal Adwan Hospital, which it had been besieging and attacking for weeks as part of its ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign in north Gaza.
