French National Held In Venezuela Released: Macron
Camilo Castro, detained since late June while renewing a Colombian visa, was freed after diplomatic efforts, Amnesty International criticized Venezuela's detention practices.
- On Sunday, President Emmanuel Macron announced that Camilo Castro, a French citizen detained in Venezuela since late June, has been released, AFP reported.
- His family says he travelled to renew an expired Colombian residency visa and vanished at the Paraguachon border crossing on June 26.
- In mid-September, Castro's mother said she had not received news except a late-July voice message in which he `called for help`, while family and Amnesty International activists held a rally in Toulouse on September 20 with flyers reading `Freedom for Camilo Castro`.
- The announcement was framed under France–Venezuela relations, with Macron writing on Sunday, `I share the relief of his family and thank everyone who worked for his release`.
- Amnesty's July report said Venezuelan authorities use detentions to justify narratives about 'foreign conspiracies' and as bargaining chips, linking the case to a pattern of foreign nationals detained in Venezuela.
