Regina Garcia Cano reported and wrote The Associated Press story that chronicled the efforts of two women to protest the Venezuelan government over the detentions of their husbands. Garcia Cano, along with video journalist Juan Arraez and photographer Ariana Cubillos, shadowed the women and as many as 30 others during their 64-day protest outside a police station in Venezuela's capital, Caracas, where their husbands and loved ones were being held.
The protests tested the women's health and resolve, as well as the Venezuelan government's willingness to restrain its repressive impulses. Though the tent city outside the station was taken down and the women went home, the journey of the two wives has not ended — they are still trying to find ways to free their husbands.
