Thousands rally in Caracas a month after US forces captured Maduro, his wife
Thousands of government supporters have marched through Caracas demanding the release of Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, marking one month since their capture by the United States' military forces.
Protesters displayed images of Maduro depicted as a superhero character called "Super Bigote" and held banners reading "The empire kidnapped them we want them back."
Nicolas Maduro Guerra, a deputy and son of the detained former president, addressed marchers from a stage, stating that January 3 "will remain marked like a scar on our face forever" when "our homeland's soil was desecrated by a foreign army.
He told the crowd that Venezuelans have developed "a deep anti-imperialist consciousness" and are fighting to consolidate their own models of development, democracy and economic policy. Maduro and Flores remain detained in a United States federal prison following the military incursion on January 3.
