Benghazi, Libya — The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) confirms that the ten humanitarian volunteers from the Global Sumud Land Convoy, unlawfully kidnapped and held as political hostages by the Haftar-affiliated Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF) for over a month, have finally been released. While we welcome their safety, let this be absolutely clear: there will be no quiet exit, no amnesia, and no normalization of the lawless brutality inflicted upon these peaceful human rights defenders. The volunteers, including medical doctors, educators, and journalists, were intercepted in a calculated act of state-sponsored kidnapping.

April 23, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Resist! Cilia Flores, Kidnapping, Nicolas Maduro, Socialism, US Military Intervention, Venezuela

The large-scale US airstrike on Venezuela was unprecedented in modern history. The surprise attack forcibly kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, First Combatant Cilia Flores, from Fort Tiuna on the outskirts of Caracas. The US killed over 100 people in the early morning hours of January 3, 2026, including reportedly some civilians in the neighboring Ciudad Tiuna social housing complex. We visited Ciudad Tiuna 50 days after the US bombing to hear the resident’s accounts. We were the second “solidarity brigade” to visit Venezuela and the first to arrive by air.

An Ecuadorian fisherman made a shocking allegation in a recent report published by the newspaper Primicias. Erick Fabricio Coello Saltos claimed that he and 19 other fishermen were attacked on the high seas by drones and then kidnapped by a US vessel. According to his testimony, they were hooded, held in a sort of container, and transported for over a week to El Salvador. There, the Ecuadorian fishermen were handed over to local authorities who, after medical evaluations, kept them in a reception center until their deportation to Manta (costing their families nearly USD 400).

Roger Waters chose April 13 to stage a protest outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, demanding the release of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. The date was not chosen at random, as that same Monday, Venezuela commemorated National Dignity Day, marking 24 years since the defeat of the coup attempt against Commander Hugo Chávez, which was reversed by masses of Chávez supporters descending on the seat of the presidency in Caracas and demanding the return of their duly elected president.

The Weight On Delcy Rodriguez

April 2, 2026 Craig Murray. Educate! Delcy Rodriguez, Kidnapping, US Imperialism, US Intervention, Venezuela

Almost everything you are told in the West about Venezuela is untrue, and the biggest lie is that Machado, Guaidó and the groupings around them are in any sense democrats or liberal. They are not, and have direct family and political links to the murderous CIA-sponsored regimes of the pre-Chávez years. They also have many scores to settle – Machado’s family, to give just one example, dominated the electricity supply before it was nationalised. A very large number of the “political prisoners” the West is so concerned about, were involved in efforts at military coup or violent insurrection, of which Guaidó’s comic opera attempt in 2019 was only the most publicised.

The Propaganda Assault: A Tale Of Two Venezuela(n)s

After the Trump administration illegally kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on January 3rd, 2026, we saw two distinct and divergent responses from Venezuelans. On the one hand, the Venezuelan diaspora, especially in the United States, celebrated President Maduro’s kidnapping and bombing of their birth country. On the other hand, inside Venezuela, for weeks after the illegal abduction, citizens engaged in (almost) daily and massive demonstrations to condemn the attack that killed and wounded over 100 people.

The Decapitation That Failed

February 20, 2026 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Cilia Flores, Kidnapping, Nicolas Maduro, US Regime Change, Venezuela

The kidnapping of a sitting head of state marks a grave escalation in US-Venezuela relations. By seizing Venezuela’s constitutional president, Washington signaled both its disregard for international law and its confidence that it would face little immediate consequence. The response within the US political establishment to the attack on Venezuela has been striking. Without the slightest cognitive dissonance over President Maduro’s violent abduction, Democrats call for “restoring democracy” – but not for returning Venezuela’s lawful president. So why didn’t the imperialists simply assassinate him?

The federal court in New York rescheduled for March 26, 2026 the second hearing of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, National Assembly Deputy Cilia Flores, following an agreement between the prosecution and the defense. The legitimate president of Venezuela and the first lady are being held illegally imprisoned in the United States, following the US military aggression against Venezuela on January 3, which killed 120 people and wounded a similar number of persons, in addition to causing significant material damage.

This Tuesday, February 3, the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, was the scene of a massive demonstration of citizens demanding the return of the Constitutional president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and the first lady, Cilia Flores, abducted by US imperialism exactly one month ago. The protest brought together workers, students, and social movements near the La Previsora building in Plaza Venezuela. From there, the march proceeded along Libertador and Urdaneta avenues, ending at the corner of Santa Capilla in the city center, where the demonstrators reaffirmed their commitment to fighting against external pressures.

Venezuelan healthcare workers marched to the United Nations (UN) headquarters in Caracas on Thursday to demand the release of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores following their kidnapping by US forces on January 3. During the march, nurse Betsy Caraballo emphasized her desire for the president’s return “to continue with his public policies,” particularly those focused on the healthcare sector. “The empire must release him because this was a kidnapping. He is a constitutional president and the people are calling for his return,” she told reporters.

Labeling Kidnapping A ‘Capture’

January 21, 2026 Gregory Shupak, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! ICE, Kidnapping, Media, Venezuela

Corporate media have deployed a lexicon of legitimation in their coverage of the deadly US invasion of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife and fellow politician Cilia Flores. Major news outlets have routinely described these events using words like “capture” (New York Times, 1/3/26) or “arrest” (BBC, 1/3/26), which presents them as a matter of enforcing the law against fugitives or criminals, and carries the built-in but false assumption that the US had the right or even duty to conduct its operation in the first place.

Chicago, IL – On January 8, Filipinos and allies gathered in front of the Consulate General of the Philippines to demand the release of Filipino American activist, Chantal Anicoche, and an end to the bombing of Mindoro. On New Year's Day, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) conducted brutal raids and aerial bombings on indigenous Mangyan-Iraya villages, killing three children and displacing nearly 200 families. This style of military terror, backed by the United States, is a tool by big real estate and natural resource companies for land grabbing.
