"The United States will not look the other way while the democratic aspirations of Venezuelans are viciously trampled," said the democrat senator and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Democrat Robert Menéndez, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made an appeal to the international community on Wednesday to condemn the incarceration of Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López, detained on Tuesday.
"I call on the international community to join me in condemning the unjust imprisonment of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and the ongoing political persecution of María Corina Machado, Carlos Vecchio and other members of the country's political opposition," Menéndez noted in a statement issued during a visit in Colombia.
"Venezuela cannot be governed through fear, violence and political retribution as President Maduro, members of his security forces, and government supporters are exhibiting on a daily basis," the senator remarked.
Menéndez said, "The United States will not look the other way while the democratic aspirations of Venezuelans are viciously trampled."
