00:00 Venezuelan YouTuber Oscar Alejandro faced arrest by Venezuelan authorities at the Simón
00:08 Bolívar International Airport in Macuete, near Caracas, over alleged terrorism charges,
00:14 according to a statement from his family.
00:16 Despite no official statement from the prosecutor's office, the family expresses hope for a fair
00:21 and judicial process.
00:22 Various press reports from Venezuela indicate his detention in the Anti-Terrorism Division
00:28 of the Scientific Investigation Corps' headquarters.
00:31 Oscar Alejandro, known for his YouTube channel with over 1.89 million subscribers, was apprehended
00:37 while preparing to travel with his family to Canaima National Park in Bolívar State.
00:43 This incident marks another instance of Venezuelan authorities using such accusations to suppress
00:49 dissent ahead of the 28 July presidential elections.
00:53 While the specific reason for Alejandro's arrest remained undisclosed, several people
00:57 accused him of inciting an attack on a crucial building in capital Caracas.
01:02 Because in a video, Alejandro mentioned the credit card tower housing Venezuela's credit
01:07 and debit card servers, emphasizing the vulnerability of the national banking system to disruption.
01:13 Despite posting the video seven months earlier with no prior consequences, it resurfaced
01:17 on social media following his arrest, prompting claims of arbitrary detention from numerous
01:22 Venezuelan users, including journalists and human rights advocates.
01:26 Alejandro had previously refrained from discussing Venezuelan politics on his channel due to
01:30 fears of retaliation from Nicolás Maduro.
01:33 Alejandro's recent trip to Nicaragua, governed by the socialist dictator Daniel Ortega, also
01:38 resulted in censorship of his videos drawing international attention to his plight.
01:43 The case underscores the regime's crackdown on dissent using arbitrary arrests and accusations
01:47 to silence critics and suppress the freedom of expression.
01:51 As Alejandro awaits a hearing schedule, the family hopes for a fair and legal process.
01:56 Despite the challenges, international scrutiny and support remains critical in ensuring justice
02:01 and protecting the right of individuals like Alejandro caught in the crosshairs of authoritarian
02:06 regimes.
