Venezuela slams US over 'repressive regimes' remarks
None
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro demanded the United States apologize on Thursday after the Obama administration's nominee for envoy to the United Nations said there was a crackdown on civil society in the South American country.
Maduro said Samantha Power's comments to a Senate confirmation hearing had been unfair. "Power says she'll fight repression in Venezuela? What repression? There is repression in the United States, where they kill African-Americans with impunity, and where they hunt the youngster Edward Snowden just for telling the truth." (Reuters)
