Venezuela Investigates Alleged Abuse of Its Nationals in El Salvador

In a significant diplomatic move, Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek Saab has declared an investigation into the treatment of over 200 Venezuelans detained in El Salvador. The probe targets President Nayib Bukele, the nation's justice minister, and the head of prisons, following allegations of abuse.

Saab's announcement comes amid escalating regional tensions and growing scrutiny over human rights practices in the Central American nation. The investigation seeks to ascertain the conditions faced by Venezuelans during their detainment and the roles played by Salvadoran officials.

This development underscores the complexities of international relations and raises questions about the responsibilities of nations in safeguarding foreign nationals. The case could strain diplomatic relations further between the two countries.
