"Relatives of journalist Ana Carolina Guaita, correspondent for La Patilla, who was arbitrarily detained on August 20 in La Guaira, are demanding her immediate release after more than a month of her arrest.
Politician Xiomara Barreto, Guaita’s mother, posted on social media, reminding the public that Guaita is also a 'prominent athlete' and certified powerbike instructor, emphasizing that she is not a 'terrorist,' as accused by the prosecutor’s office simply for reporting on the events of July 29 in Vargas state during post-election protests.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights reported on August 27 that protective precautionary measures were granted to journalist Ana Carolina Guaita, considering that she is in a situation of 'serious and urgent risk of irreparable harm to her rights' in Venezuela."
