The Organisation of American States (OAS) yesterday condemned the seizure of two fishing vessels with their crew last week by Venezuela from Guyana’s waters and called for their immediate release, even as this country rebuked the Opposition-led Juan Guaidó’s support for the action of the Nicolas Maduro government.
“The General Secretariat demands that the Guyanese citizens are released promptly and safely to Guyanese authorities, as well as the two detained vessels,” the OAS yesterday said in a statement, following a meeting of its Permanent Council in Washington on the COVID-19 pandemic in the region and developments relating to the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy.
