CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP) — Around 2,000 supporters of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro demonstrated Sunday in Caracas to demand that he and his wife, who were nabbed by United States forces and taken to a New York jail, be released.
A group of pro-Maduro paramilitaries and bikers accompanied the demonstrators, who waved red, blue and yellow Venezuelan flags.
“Free our president,” read a placard held by a man with a red flannel shirt which bore the image of Maduro’s predecessor and mentor, late socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez.
“Venezuela is no-one’s colony,” another placard read.
On Monday, Maduro is due in court in New York to face charges of “narcoterrorism” tied to alleged cocaine trafficking into the US.
