Venezuelan security forces surround Argentine embassy after opposition members take refuge inside


Venezuelan security forces surrounded the Argentine embassy in the capital Caracas on Friday after two opposition members took refuge inside, according to posts by the opposition on social media.

The pair joined four other Venezuelan opposition figures who have taken refuge in the embassy this year.

One of the men, Pedro Urruchurtu, the international coordinator for opposition leader María Corina Machado, wrote on X that there were patrols of hooded and armed officials surrounding the diplomatic building.

The other, former deputy Omar González, also posted on X, writing: “They cut off the electricity service to the Argentine embassy in Caracas, which is currently besieged by agents of the Sebin (Bolivarian National Intelligence Service) and other state security bodies.”

Tyrants will be tyrants and Maduro is proving this, he stole the election and now is going after his political opponents with state security forces.
I wouldn't be surprised if he orders his thugs into the Embassy to kidnap those hiding inside.

He says that there's no crime and it's safe, where does he get his information from?
