The government of Argentina has accused its Venezuelan counterpart of continually harassing six members of the political opposition who have been sheltering for months in the Argentine diplomatic compound in Caracas
FILE - A police patrol car sits parked outside Argentina's embassy where some members of Venezuela's opposition are seeking asylum inside, in Caracas, Venezuela, July 31, 2024, three days after the contested presidential election. Argentina's government on Wednesday accused its Venezuelan counterpart of continually harassing six members of the political opposition who have been sheltering for months in the Argentine diplomatic compound in the capital, Caracas.
“The Venezuelan government has not only denied the safe passage that would allow their safe departure, but has adopted totally unacceptable harassment actions,” Werhein said during a session of the OAS’ permanent council. “The asylum seekers are subjected to water cuts, interruptions in electricity, restrictions on the entry of food and the constant presence of security forces in the vicinity of the diplomatic headquarters.
Venezuela’s Minister of Interior Diosdado Cabello last week called the group’s allegations a “farce.”
