US calls for release of Venezuelan HIV/AIDS service providers

A source in Venezuela on Saturday told the Washington Blade that authorities released a driver who is heterosexual the following day. The source notes León and his four other colleagues — who they said are gay men with HIV — remain in custody and are in a Maracaibo hospital because they have the coronavirus. “They are still in jail, but they have been temporarily moved,” said the source. “They are handcuffed.” James “Jimmy” Story, the U.S. ambassador to Venezuela, on Jan. 21 called for the men’s release.
