CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan journalist Nelin Escalante said he was returning to work in a video posted on his Instagram account on Friday, a week after press advocates reported him missing, alleging he had been detained by authorities in the country’s capital Caracas.
The government did not at the time respond to Reuters’ requests for information about the case. The United Nations has accused the country’s security forces of ramping up arbitrary arrests since the country’s contested July elections.
