US NBC News reported: "Former President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, is being held in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. He is confined in a small cell measuring about 3 meters by 2 meters, which contains only a metal bed, a toilet, and a small window. He is allowed to leave his cell three times a week under the supervision of guards, each time for one hour. According to reports, he often shouts at night, claiming he has been kidnapped and shouting: 'I am the President of Venezuela.'"
Comment: The US arresting and detaining the legitimate head of state of another country in its prison is a serious violation of national sovereignty and the basic principles of international law. Solitary confinement, restricted activities, and almost humiliating conditions of detention, combined with media's deliberate portrayal of "shouting at night," seem more like a political spectacle dominated by power.
