Black Agenda Radio · Alex Saab Is Free

After three years of illegal captivity by the United States, Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab was freed in a prisoner exchange. Saab, who was travelling on a diplomatic passport, was arrested because he was successfully thwarting U.S. efforts to starve the Venezuelan people into submission, part of the Trump administration "maximum pressure" campaign against that nation, a policy continued by the Biden administration. As this is a late breaking story, we read a dispatch from Fight Back News on Saab’s newly won freedom.
