US EditionU.S. Warns Americans Not to Travel to Venezuela
- The U.S. State Department issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for Venezuela on Tuesday, warning Americans not to travel there for any reason.
- The advisory warns of numerous serious dangers such as arbitrary detention, mistreatment in custody, terrorism, abduction, biased law enforcement, high rates of violent crime, social instability, and insufficient medical services.
- Venezuela holds more wrongfully detained American citizens than any other nation, often subjecting them to lengthy imprisonments—sometimes up to five years—under severe conditions without proper legal procedures, notification to U.S. Authorities, or consular access.
- Tammy Bruce, a spokesperson for the State Department, warned that U.S. Citizens visiting Venezuela or its border areas face the danger of being unjustly imprisoned for extended periods, possibly lasting months or years, and strongly advised all Americans to depart the country without delay.
- Because the United States lacks diplomatic representation in Venezuela, it is unable to offer regular consular services there; meanwhile, the State Department remains committed to securing the release of Americans detained unjustly and continues to advise against travel to the country.
