Human rights panel calls on Venezuelan government to respect civil liberties as beginning of presidential term nears.
The government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has announced a $100,000 reward for information on the whereabouts of exiled opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez.
The announcement on Thursday comes eight days before Maduro is set to be sworn in for a third term, following a contested presidential election in July.
In the months since the vote, Maduro’s government has issued an arrest warrant for Gonzalez, his rival in the race.
“A $100,000 reward is offered to anyone who provides information about his location,” the country’s Scientific, Criminal and Forensic Investigations Agency said in an Instagram post on Thursday.
The post framed a photo of Gonzalez in the style of a “wanted” poster.
