The Venezuelan government on Thursday expelled the members of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in the country, shortly after the entity voiced concern over the detention of activist Rocío San Miguel.
"The decision has been made given the unproper role the institution has taken. Far from being impartial, it has become a lobbying entity for a group of coup-mongers and terrorists who are permanently plotting against the country," said in a statement Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil.
