Two vessels with 12 Guyanese aboard are expected back in Guyana’s waters later this week after being illegally detained by the Venezuelan Navy on January 21.
A statement yesterday from Guyana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it had been informed by Caracas that the vessels, Lady Nayera and Sea Wolf were to have set sail for Guyana yesterday.
The statement also disclosed that the Foreign Minister of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza had told Guyana’s Foreign Minister Hugh Todd “that all legal proceedings had been discontinued at the request of His Excellency (Venezue-lan President) Nicolas Maduro”.
