The United States and Venezuela’s opposition on Sunday condemned the death under “torture” of a naval officer detained for alleged trying to oust President Nicolas Maduro. Washington blamed Maduro for the death of Rafael Acosta Arevalo, which came amid a standoff between Venezuela’s opposition chief Juan Guaido and the president that’s stretched for more than five months. “The United States condemns the killing and torture of” Acosta, the State Department said in a statement.
