How journalists get treated by the forces of #Maduro in #Venezuela 🇻🇪 https://t.co/N6k74w2tZR— Thomas van Linge (@ThomasVLinge) February 23, 2019
I was taken by the pro-Maduro guerilla in San Antonio del tachira, robbed and beaten along with my security and then they forced us to get on our stomachs while they held guns to the back of our heads. They took everything we had. Am tweeting from a strentger`s phone #venezuela— Annika H Rothstein (@truthandfiction) February 23, 2019
The guerilla was HEAVILY armed and I truly believed they would kill us all, they saw my camera and press pass and put guns on us all. After they finally let us go we only got 10 minutes down the road before gunfire broke out on both sides and we hid in a shed for over an hour. https://t.co/w9OGIsVpyq— Annika H Rothstein (@truthandfiction) February 23, 2019
I want everyone to know this before I have to leave to the next location. They yelled at me that i was trying to infiltrate Venezuela and that what nI was doing was a crime, they took my things and called it contraband and slapped me across the face when I didnt move bc of shock. https://t.co/ZOquE3FccR— Annika H Rothstein (@truthandfiction) February 23, 2019
I want everyone to know what these people, this regime, is doing to its people and to anyone who tries to expose them. I am safe now but we are trying to get back to Caracas tonight. My body hurts, my soul hurts but I will never forget the Venezuelans who warned us and helped us https://t.co/yQJT4ZzDy6— Annika H Rothstein (@truthandfiction) February 23, 2019
