The continuing international Campaign to free Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab, abducted by the U.S. over a year ago and held in Cabo Verde, gained momentum this week.
The visit of Prime Minister Ulisses Correia e Silva of Cabo Verde a small, isolated island nation off the West coast of Africa to the Cabo Verdean community in the Boston area brought out members of that community, along with Venezuelan solidarity activists, union members and antiwar activists from many organizations, to press for Saab’s release. July 5, the National Independence Day of Cabo Verde, is a highly unusual time for the prime minister to be out of the country.
