Pro-Maduro protestors evicted from Venezuelan embassy in Washington
Washington - US police on Thursday evicted the last of a group of protestors who have been occupying the Venezuelan embassy in Washington in support of President Nicolas Maduro, ending a weeks-long standoff.
The most high-profile of the groups behind the occupation, CODEPINK, denounced what it called the"illegal entry and arrest at DC Venezuela Embassy.""All four of the peace activists who have been inside the embassy have now been arrested," said Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, a lawyer representing the protesters.
For more than a month, an unclear number of Americans belonging to a group calling itself the Embassy Protection Collective had been living in the embassy, with the consent of the Maduro government.
