flag Argentine families urge Vatican to free two detained nationals in Venezuela, citing human rights abuses and slow progress.

flag Families of two Argentines detained in Venezuela—national security officer Nahuel Agustín Gallo and lawyer German Giuliani—urged the Vatican to intervene, delivering a petition to the Catholic Church in Buenos Aires on January 23, 2026. flag Their spouses and relatives cited prolonged detention and alleged forced disappearance, criticizing the slow pace of recent prisoner releases as insufficient. flag They appealed to Pope Leo and Cardinal Parolin, invoking human dignity and fundamental rights, and joined protests demanding the safe return of detainees. flag The releases, part of Venezuela’s interim government efforts amid political tensions, are seen as attempts to ease domestic pressure and improve relations with the U.S., but many remain imprisoned.
