Just talked to my dad. He is safe. He told me that 15 mins into his interview, Maduro stopped him & then forced him & his team into a dark room for 2.5 hours. He was then released without any of his belongings.

2. Maduro, like trump, hates a free press

They've been sued, harassed, jailed and run out of business if critical of Maduro.
