Venezuelan Opposition Figures Rescued from Embassy Siege

Five Venezuelan opposition figures, including Mara Corina Machado, have been rescued from the Argentine embassy in Caracas. They have reportedly arrived safely in the United States, according to the US Secretary of State, following a "precise rescue" mission. The opposition members had been living in the embassy for over a year, after they were placed under siege by Venezuelan authorities, who have been conducting repeated electricity and power cuts in the area.
