Venezuela Expels UN Human Rights Office Amid Anti-Government Accusations

Venezuela orders the local United Nations office on human rights to close, accusing it of assisting coup plotters and terrorist groups, leading to the expulsion of its staff within 72 hours. This decision follows the recent detention of a prominent human rights attorney and her family, prompting criticism from both domestic and international sources. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights had expressed deep concern over the attorney's detention and called for her immediate release, while the Venezuelan government accuses the UN office of maintaining a discourse against the government and the Venezuelan people.
