Venezuelan journalist detained, presumably by intelligence officials

“Journalist Ana Carolina Guaita, from the news portal La Patilla, was apparently detained by Bolivarian Intelligence Service (Sebin) officials while she was near the El Rincón neighborhood in Maiquetía, the National Press Workers’ Union reported on their X account.

[...] The legal advisor of the Democratic Unitary Platform, Perkins Rocha, said Guaita is also the daughter of well-known state political leaders.

[...] The director of La Patilla, Alberto Ravell, condemned the detention, calling it unusual [and rejected] ‘arbitrary detentions and harassment against citizens, especially journalists whose only role is to inform.’ ”
