"Nelin Escalante, a veteran journalist in Venezuela, has not been heard from since Friday [Oct. 25], Venezuelan press advocates said on Sunday, alleging he had been detained by government authorities in the country's capital.
[…]
Venezuela's National College of Journalists (CNP, by its Spanish acronym) said in a post on social media that Escalante had been missing for 48 hours and demanded his prompt release. The group said he was ‘taken’ on Friday afternoon by agents belonging to an intelligence service known as the Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence, or DGCIM.
'We demand to know (Escalante's) whereabouts and release,' the CNP said."
