Venezuelan migrants held at Tuschen reportedly released

Dozens of Venezuelans who were arrested on Thursday at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo after they arrived with a boat were all released around 1 am yesterday. 

This is according to a Guyanese-Venezuelan woman who moved to the Tuschen Sea Dam with her family, two years ago. 

Attempts made by Stabroek News (SN) to contact senior officers in the region to confirm this information proved futile.
