Venezuela expels UN rights agency move follows UN’s concern over activist’s detention

Venezuela has suspended the activities of the UN’s human rights office in the country, and ordered its staff to leave. That’s after the UN agency expressed deep concern over the detention of prominent activist Rossio Rocio San Miguel. For decades, she’s been a vocal critic of the military – now she’s being accused of treason.
