U.S. Expresses Concern Over Arrest of Venezuelan Activist and Family

Rocío San Miguel's detention on charges related to an alleged assassination plot against President Maduro prompts international outcry.

The U.S. government expressed deep concern over the arrest of Venezuelan activist Rocío San Miguel and her family, with her whereabouts currently unknown.
San Miguel, a critic of President Nicolás Maduro's government, was arrested on charges of treason, conspiracy, terrorism, and criminal association related to an alleged plot to kill Maduro.
Venezuelan authorities have detained several individuals, including government critics and military personnel, in connection with the so-called 'White Bracelet' plot.
International organizations, including the UN High Commission for Human Rights, have called for San Miguel's immediate release and expressed concern over her detention.
The U.S. has recently reimposed sanctions on Venezuela following Maduro's failure to ensure democratic elections, amid escalating tensions between the two countries.
