Roger Waters, the co-founder of Pink Floyd and one of rock's most polarizing political activists, has joined demonstrators outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to demand the release of Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, adding another chapter to his long record of anti-war activism and high-profile attacks on President Donald Trump.
The protest was promoted by pro-Maduro and anti-intervention groups that have described the couple's detention in New York as politically motivated. Orinoco Tribune, which published the call to action, reported that Waters demanded that Maduro be granted immediate access to calls and visits with Flores.
