Argentina's Foreign Ministry has expressed grave concern over worsening conditions at its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela. Six opposition leaders, who sought refuge there months ago to escape political persecution under Nicolás Maduro's regime, are facing deteriorating circumstances. Officials have labeled the situation as "grave and alarming," urging international intervention to ensure their safety.
In a public statement, Argentina's Foreign Ministry called for international intervention, urging the United Nations and the Organization of American States to pressure Maduro's regime to issue safe-conduct passes. These documents would allow the asylum-seekers to leave Venezuela safely, avoiding the imminent risk of arrest or harm. The statement was accompanied by the hashtag #SafePassageNow, underscoring the urgency of the appeal.
