Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called for the release of six US oil executives detained in Venezuela as their family members expressed concern for their well-being amid the coronavirus outbreak
The"CITGO 6" -- Tomeu Vadell, Gustavo Cardenas, Jorge Toledo, Alirio Jose Zambrano, Jose Luis Zambrano and Jose Angel Pereira -- have been detained in Venezuela without trial since November 2017. On Thursday, the top US diplomat issued a demand for their humanitarian release amid the outbreak of Covid-19 in that country.
According to some of the family members, it is believed that the six are being held together."With as many people in there, if there are cases that are testing positive, a spread would be pretty easy and that's what we're all terrified about," said Carlos Anez, the son of Toledo."We're terribly afraid of losing one or more of them in there.
