CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan Carlos Marrón says torture he endured supports a United Nation’s report that Nicolás Maduro’s government committed possible crimes against humanity. Marrón now lives in Miami after escaping from Venezuela where he was jailed. Authorities accused him of running a website that published the exchange rate of the crisis-stricken nation’s collapsing currency. Marrón told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that he was asphyxiated and beaten at the start of nearly two years of living in unsanitary conditions without a trial. Venezuelan authorities have denied the claim and did not respond to the AP’s request for comment.
