Venezuela’s foreign ministry has stated that it is launching an investigation into the alleged torture of its citizens held in a prison in El Salvador. The Venezuelan citizens, who had been deported from the United States, were released on Friday. The government has not yet commented on the specific allegations, but has called for an inquiry into the treatment of its nationals during their detention.
The incident has raised concerns about the treatment of Venezuelan nationals in foreign detention facilities. While the details of the alleged torture remain unclear, the release of the individuals has been welcomed by some as a positive development. The Venezuelan government has emphasized its commitment to protecting the rights of its citizens, including those abroad. However, the situation has also sparked discussions about the broader challenges faced by migrants from Venezuela in the region.
