Solidarity supporters assembled in Castries on Tuesday evening to protest the US military action in Venezuela and call for the return of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
Participants holding “Bring Them Back” signs also rejected military aggression and honoured those who lost their lives defending Venezuela’s sovereignty.
The event, organised by the Venezuelan Embassy in Saint Lucia in partnership with the Saint Lucia Solidarity Movement with Venezuela, marked the one-month anniversary of the controversial operation.
It formed part of a global wave of more than 100 solidarity actions and demonstrations held in cities around the world to reaffirm opposition to what organisers described as a “vile, illegal and disproportionate” attack carried out on January 3 when US forces struck Venezuelan territory and captured President Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
The operation, announced by US President Donald Trump, involved strikes across northern Venezuela and the reported removal of Maduro and Flores to US custody, drawing sharp international debate and protests.
