A federal court in Argentina has issued an order for the 'immediate' arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello for alleged crimes against humanity committed against dissidents. The court's decision came following an appeal by Argentine prosecutor Carlos Stornelli after a previous ruling had dismissed the complaint against both Venezuelan leaders.
