Farmers in Venezuela protest Maduro's detention, call for his release
Supporters of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores marched in Caracas on Friday to demand their release following their capture by US forces on January 3.
The rally, called this time by Venezuela's farming sector, featured banners, flags and pictures of Maduro and Flores.
Marchers moved through central Caracas and gathered near the vice presidency.
Maduro allies have held daily marches calling for his release since his capture on January 3, which Venezuelan authorities say occurred during an attack that killed at least 100 people, including 47 Venezuelan military personnel.
Maduro is accused of overseeing a cocaine-trafficking network with international drug cartels and faces four criminal counts: narco-terrorism, cocaine importation conspiracy and possession of machine guns and destructive devices. Maduro has long denied the allegations, saying they were a mask for imperialist designs on Venezuela's rich oil reserves.
