The ousted President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, was captured on January 3 by American military. The capture occurred on Venezuelan territory, with the ousted leader subsequently taken to New York.
Maduro declared today on his social media that he is 'resisting', publishing unpublished photographs taken in prison in New York. The images were released with recorded date and time, confirming his current location in an American prison.
In the photographs, Nicolás Maduro wears a grey tracksuit and makes a 'V' with his fingers, a sign of victory. From the image, he appears to be thinner since his capture by American military.
The social media post comes at a time of great tension between Venezuela and the United States, after the fall of Maduro's government and the military intervention that led to his detention.
