The US has repatriated from a military prison in Wadanao, on Cuban territory, illegal immigrants from Venezuela to their country, with a stopover in Honduras, at the request of the Latin American country’s government, Caracas announced yesterday (Thursday).

The Venezuelan government “requested the repatriation of a group of compatriots who had been unjustly taken to the naval base in Guantanamo. The request was accepted and the citizens were transferred to Honduras, where they were recovered,” a press release from the Latin American country’s foreign ministry said.
