Venezuela's Maduro thanks supporters in first online post from US prison
CARACAS: Ousted Venezuelan head Nicolas Maduro and his wife, captured by US forces in a nighttime targeted action in January, stated Saturday that they feel "steadfast" and "serene" in their first social press post from prison.
Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been held in a Brooklyn jail for almost three months, after American commandos snatched the pair from their compound in Caracas, and they have reportedly been without access to the internet or newspapers.
"We are well, steadfast, serene and in constant prayer," the pair stated in a message shared on Maduro's X account, though it was unclear who made the post on their behalf.
"We have received your communications, your messages, your emails, your letters and your prayers. Every word of love, every gesture of affection, every expression of backing fills our souls and strengthens us spiritually."
A source close to the Venezuelan province informed AFP that Maduro reads the Bible and is referred to as "head" by some of his fellow detainees in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Centre, a federal prison known for unsanitary conditions.
