Camilo Castro, a 40-year-old French citizen residing in Colombia, has been detained in Venezuela for nearly two months without any stated reason, according to his family. Castro disappeared on June 26 at the Paraguachón border crossing between Venezuela and Colombia. His family has raised concerns about the lack of respect for his consular rights during his detention. The French government is closely monitoring the situation. Castro's detention has drawn comparisons to a form of hostage diplomacy, similar to tactics observed in Iran. Venezuelan authorities have not provided an official explanation for his arrest, and he is reportedly the latest foreign national detained in the country.
